As I read the Introduction and Chapter 1 in our Web 2.0 book it clarified what the benefits of Web 2.0 are. We are offered a wonderful way to communicate, collaborate,socialize and respond in a rapid way. This new technology with allowing people to write and share on-line with possible immediate responses opens up an innovative way to collaborate in a variety of ways.
Previously, Web 1.0 offered programs that weren't free and often were not easily accessible and may have involved copy right or permission issues. With or changing world and many of our large tech companies farming out the work to countries like China, India and some other countries the United States has to become more competitive and our schools are the tool for teaching how to use this 2.0 technology in the Educational Arena.
Our children learn any computer related program faster than adults and this is shown by how many of our young use Facebook, Twitter and other networking sites. Many of these sites are mentioned in Web 2.0, and can be used for communicating and research when properly taught by their teachers or parents. Students can find free books and programs that would help their education.
