Week 9: Web 2.0

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog!

Today our learning objective was to understand the term Web 2.0 and associated applications and the implications for teaching and learning. We also critically analyse the web 2.0 applications in order to evaluate their meaningly uses across the Primary Curriculum.

According to Sherry (2010), Web 2.0 is the result of several evolutions which have happened at the same time:

  • the personal computer evolved into an appliance that is found in many homes, schools and offices.
  • Mobile phones emerged as devices capable of making phone calls as well as accessing the World Wide Web
  • web-based applications were developed for use on many devices.
  • Web 2.0 is characterised by fully featured applications that run within the browser and offer rich user experiences.
  • Web 2.0 data is stored separately from instructions from how the data should be displayed so that the content can be accessible from a variety of internet-based devices.





Web 1.0 vs Web 2.0


Here are some examples of Web 2.0 tools for school which we've looked at during this session:
