Chapter 1
The web has changed to an interactive tool. We used to view materials without the ability to comment or add to them. Now, we are able to interact with the web in ways that we used to dream about. Today the sky is the limit in what Web 2.0 can do for the computer learner;i interaction includes multiple users editing, commenting and polishing an end product ready for market. In other words, single users have gone to collaborative users.
Web 2.0 allows for more freedom for the user. The user chooses the content to be seen rather than someone else choosing it.
Bloggers can make or break a business. If a blogger is not happy with a company, she/he can state this on their blog.
Web 2.0 gives business an opportunity to spread across the world. This allows for more money to be made, to pay a lesser wage and times not purchase health care for their employees outside the United States.
The West is losing the technology race to third world and developing countries because students are not being trained on technology which will allow them to be prepared in the workplace of the future.
School approach to the internet is being transformed. Students can now more than ever collaborate together to produce a joint project which is well defined, deep subject knowledge in a flexible manner.
This last paragraph scared me a little. In teaching students to collaborate are we not also teaching them to think as one or be part of the machine?
