What is Web 2.0?

The term Web 2.0 is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web (WWW). The term Web 2.0 refers to cumulative changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web. The Web 2.0 is meant to be collaborative medium, a place where we could all meet and read and write, which makes it perfect for the Education field. 

A Web 2.0 site gives its users the free choice to interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users  are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. 

Examples of Web 2.0 include:

• Social-networking sites (Twitter, Facebook)
• Blogs (Blogger, Wordpress)
• Wikis (Edmodo)
• Video-sharing sites (You tube)
• Web applications, etc.
