Whether Web 2.0 is qualitatively different from prior web technologies has been challenged by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, who called the term a "piece of jargon", precisely because he intended the Web in his vision as "a collaborative medium, a place where we [could] meet and read and write"

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FOR THE CLASSROOM?

Students already participate in life on a global level.

Students have the ability to reach audiences far beyond our classroom walls, which make it language for purpose.

Self-publishing aspects, as well as the speed with which their work becomes available for consumption & feedback, gives students more control over their learning and ideas.

Students have the opportunity to share and explore learning with their peers and others– therefore learning can be more collaborative and/or student-centered.

#PENCILCHAT “Anything that is in the World when you

are born is normal and ordinary and just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything invented between when you are 15 -35 yrs is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after 35 is against the natural order of things.”

Douglas Adams
