WHY WEB 2.0?

Web 2.0 is seen as the "new web" as it provides many tools that have changed how we interact with each other. Web 2.o has allowed opportunities for all to create and respond on the web without knowing HTML codes. Web 2.0 tools are social in nature and promote self expression. The advent of Web 2.0 encourages COMMUNICATION, COLLABORATION, CREATIVITY, CONNECTNESS and HIGH PRODUCTIVITY.

The shift to Web 2.0 has had a profound impact on our lives, therefore education must engage their 21st century learners by using these tools in learning and teaching. It also provides a paradigm shift in learning as they encourage more that information delivery- they involve engaging learners where the online environment they participate in provides a stage, purpose and audience for their learning. It also is a powerful medium for reflection and feedback.
