  1. I love how web 2.0 seems to draw you out of your seat, and into the world you are researching. As a visual learner this is engaging, rather than the old read and digest pages (good old encarta!).

  4. 3 differences between web 1.0 and 2.0:
    – 2.0 is a lot more interactive. As a user you are able to add info and update things very quickly
    – 2.0 can be real time updated. As a user you can interact with another user on the spot, no matter where they are.
    – 2.0 is open-ended, it is always evolving and always takes you to new information

  10. Web 2.0 websites provide simply a framework – the users are the authors of the content. It’s like a playground, with a slide, blocks and a sandbox – the children playing in it are the ones who decide what game to play, if to create a sand-castle or sand-monster, etc.

  11. Some great tools there. Am very interested in Pageflakes.

    Many of you may know this site already:
    https://www.go2web20.net/. It has a bewildering amount of web2 sites.

    I would like to know if anyone here uses Podcasts in their lessons or as homework.

  12. It seems to me the main difference between web 1 and web 2.0 is the level in which web 2.0 tools are interactive. Web 2.0 tools seem to have further links to blogs and wikis for points of discussion and feedback.

    Rather than being seen as a source of information or creativity web 2.0 tools allow for greater interaction and response from a wide gammit of users.

  13. Web 2 is interactive, allows *open* membership, encourages cooperation and comments, users publish directly into pages, upload information, files, images or videos etc.., One of the issues is that of privacy and legal requirements, particularly if kids are publishing photos or personal opinions online – as they might be subject to criticism or ridicule or they might even act to criticise teachers or schools – the options are endless!

  14. I really like exploratree, it is interactive and allows users to create their own thinking templates. I suppose it it that quality of interactivity within the web page that distinguishes web 2 from web1 – where you sample from provided content.

  15. Web2 encourages interaction and feedback, draws together information from external or multiple sources, can provide opportunities for remote storage and is ever evolving.

  18. Web 2 is:
    -more social in nature than Web 1, often offering a response facility and the ability to interact back and forth
    – often more dynamic, multi-dimensional, visually stimulating
    – facilitates the user working in different modes of learning, a lot more choice and more than one style at a time

  19. Interactive – allows the user to explore and find what THEY want to find, rather than the website dictating to them which parts are important.

  20. Really liked the exploratree. Can’t wait to take it back and share. Very user friendly.

    Thought that pageflakes was great for the IWB. Looking forward to finding out more and seeing if it can be censored/changed for Junior School students.

  21. Web 2 offers more visual interaction with pictures video etc rather than lots of words as with Web 1.0.
    Web 1.0 seems more linear with lists and filing cards while Web 2.0 is more organic with links in all directions.
    Interactivity is a feature of Web 2.0 where I can interact rather than just view.

  22. Web 2 is interactive, more social, more dynamic.
