A Guide for Teachers By: Tammy Mullins Web 2.0

What is it? “A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as consumers of user- generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (prosumers) are limited to the active viewing of content that they created and controlled. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies”(Wikipedia, 2010).social mediauser- generated contentvirtual communityprosumerscontentsocial networking sitesblogs wikisvideo sharinghosted servicesweb applications mashupsfolksonomies
