 * What is Web 2.0?**
 * The term "Web 2.0” was coined by Darcy DiNucci in her 1999 article "Fragmented Future". However, the current idea of Web 2.0 is closely associated with O'Reilly Media and a conference in 2004. The Web 2.0 concept is taken from the new capabilities of the post "dot-com crash" Internet.
 * Web 1.0: users could only search and retrieve information.
 * Web 2.0: users participate in the creation, development and sharing of information.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Web 2.0 has transformed our world by giving us the power to inform, create and manifest information, programs, software and authentic content.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Simply put, Web 2.0 is about the interactivity and productivity applications on the Internet that provide you with 24/7 ability to produce, communicate, collaborate, share, store, network and learn. One of the best things about these Web 2.0 applications is that they are FREE!!


 * Why Use Web 2.0?**
 * Research shows that our children are inherently different than we are. They have been plugged in and wired up since birth. Research shows that the neuro pathways in their brains are different than ours. (Jukes, Ian. McCain, Ted. Crockett, Lee. Understanding the Digital Generation. 2010. @http://www.understandingthedigitalgeneration.com/purchase.cfm .)
 * They come to our classrooms which are devoid of the digital tools that they use every day, everywhere that is not school. They expect instant gratification and to be entertained every minute of every day. What can we as teachers do to engage and encourage students to succeed?
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We need to be able to put students in a position where they can create, collaborate, discover and learn to succeed in our classrooms each and every day. We need to find the tools to do this. And we need to be able to do this with as little cost as possible. Web 2.0 is our number one tool to facilitate this process.
