These kinds of online applications are known as Web 2. As our children become more sophisticated users of the VLE, making use of Web 2 material is becoming more of a seamless process. This presentation aims to inform and illustrate how useful Web 2 activities can be and how they can offer a creative and stimulating input to the curriculum.
