Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.“ Wikipedia “ The significance of the shift to Web 2.0 for education is that it empowers teachers and learners to easily create and share their own content and resources”.

What is Web 2.0 ? GO2WEB20 – everything you ever wanted Web 2.0 Power

“ It's amazing in many ways that in just a few short years, we have gone from a Web that was primarily "read only" to one where creating content is almost as easy as consuming it”. “ One where writing and publishing in the forms of blogs, wikis and podcasts and many other such tools is available to everyone. One where we can connect not just to content but to people, ideas and conversations as well”. “ The good news for all of us is that today, anyone can become a lifelong learner . These technologies are user friendly in a way that technologies have not been in the past” Will Richardson - Edutopia

We (schools) have a moral obligation to have a discussion with our students about their internet footprint and what they are doing in their online environment will have a very real impact on their future ….. (Will Richardson, 2008) Did you know that your future employers, partners, tertiary, friends, parents will google you?

"A wiki is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website” Wikipedia Find out easily by searching You Tube Nigel Crawford is the eLearning Advisor for Auckland/Northland for Team Solutions -

Podcasting, made from Apple's "iPod" and "broadcasting", is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files." Wikipedia Podcasting does not actually require an iPod. One can access podcasts via the web with almost any audio software and/or with most portable digital music players. Creating podcasts can be done using free software. Podcast files can be hosted using various, free online services.
