Its as easy to use as a prison shivyou just jab the copper-tipped tine into whatever kind of flesh- slab youre cooking.

4. History of the Web Fast forwarding…… In todays web experience, called Web 2.0, some of the key changes are: The web is no longer static, the user interacts and defines his experience and results The user does not simply retrieve information, but indeed is the owner of his data, and freely shares and modifies it at will. Through the use of new technologies, applications like word processing, spreadsheets, photo editing and presenting, and online live collaboration are now possible.

9. Sites of Competing Technologies Blogs vs. Wikis – Blogs like Blogger, Edublog are for pontificating. State your opinion and let others respond. An educational application would be for journal writing, or a class project.BloggerEdublog Wikis like pbwiki and wikispaces.com, are for collaboration. Someone starts the ball rolling and others can modify and/or add to it. A detailed record is maintained of all changes and who made them. An educational application would be for a teacher to post a statement or position, and each student would be required to log in and add to or change that position. As author, the teacher can tell who has participated.pbwikiwikispaces.com
