Web 2.0 Introduction - Successful?

Today I introduced Web 2.0 to the students. I defined Web 2.0 as the 'newer version' of the Internet. Interacting with the so called old Internet was a one-way street. This newer, 2.0 version, is a two-way interaction - people access content and respond with their own opinions, comments, questions, etc.

It is this new interaction that helps change the way the Internet is now being used. Students can blog about their day-to-day life, podcast about their favorite subjects, join wiki spaces to collaborate with other students across the globe - and receive feedback from their audience which is automatically embedded into the Internet!

With the discussion under way, I have posted another video below that does a great job explaining one part of Web 2.0 - Blogs!

I think this introduction to 2.0 was very successful It showed a lot of the new things you can do. I also understood it better from the last video.

I liked the video because it was very simple and easier to understand, and it didn't go to fast or too slow. I preferred the effects in the other video, though.

that video was a repeat of what Mr.Dooley had already told us, the web 2.0 video was way better than that and it was more interesting
