Reflection on Web 2.0

I think Web 2.0 represents a paradigm shift where putting up things on the Internet is no longer restricted to only computer programmers and web designers but anyone who is able to use the Internet. This was accompanied by the recent vast explosion of Web 2.0 tools including, but not restricted to, blogs, wikis and social networking sites. The list of Web 2.0 websites is still increasing, implying a trend that is growing. Our new generation of youths will be one that will remember the Internet as a participative platform rather than one that is only meant for information mining. For teachers, Web 2.0 also created new opportunities for teaching and learning.
