Meaning of Web 2.0

The difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is that 1.0 is read-only and 2.0 involves reading and the ability to interact.  The article I read titled, Basics for Beginners:  What is Web 2.0?, I was reminded of the new vocabulary to learn.  Some of this vocabulary includes:  blogs, wikis, podcasts, vodcasts, mashups, and API's.  While I am still learning this vocabulary, I have learned some of the words in my graduate class.  The article overall was somewhat informative.  I will continue to use the technology coordinator at my school for additional help.

  1. You brought up some great vocabulary that I am still unaware of. I will have to learn what a vodcast is. I think that Web2.0 is pretty cool too. I guess like you as well!

  2. Yes, the vocabulary is what challenges me. I do like Web2.0 and am always excited to learn new things.

  3. Technology creates an opportunity for us to learn a variety of new things. We learn new vocabulary terms as we are learning new ways to communicate with one another.
