"Web 2.0 Is the Future of Education"

„I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press. I believe that we cannot even begin to imagine the changes that are going to take place as the two-way nature of the Internet begins to flower, and that even those of us who have spent time imagining this future will be astounded by what happens.“

Steve Hargadon

The new Web, or Web 2.0, is a two-way medium, based on contribution, creation, and collaboration–often requiring only access to the Web and a browser. Blogs, wikis, podcasting, video/photo-sharing, social networking, and any of the hundreds (thousands?) of software services preceded by the words „social“ or „collaborative“ are changing how and why content is created.
