Web 2.0 tools


My understanding of Web 2.0 is broken down to three important topics. First, Wikipedia is one of the most popular resources in my generation to use for a resource. With wiki being one of the known web bases, for the world to collaborate their input, especially when it comes to anybody and everybody today.  So students use wiki’s as a blog, but it is very different then a blog.  Second, Social Bookmarking is an application that allows you to share your bookmarks with specific people or groups. When you share the Bookmarking to the group they are able to see what you have posted or tagged and specifically to whom.

 Web 2.0 have a big impact on the whole world, by making it easier to access everything. Voice Thread is a very versatile app that lets you combine images, documents, and videos.  While using the voice, you can access it anywhere if you have a cell phone which makes it very beneficial for when you are wanting to study for exams and writing research papers of some sort. With the new generation of technology, applications or what we call apps that are one of the most important things in this world today. Students use Wiki to find everything that is unclear to them. Because everyone has a cell phone, which has apps that are becoming more popular to have because it is easy to access.

    I agree I have used Wikipedia for everything it seems like but I always try to back up my research with another source because of the fact anyone can just put information or edit it on Wikipedia. I also agree that the voice thread is a pretty cool thing. I think it opens up so many doors for people who never thought they would be able to use the internet. I think its an awesome thing.

    You know, I hadn't even thought of using VoiceThread on phones. I sort of assumed people would use a PC microphone, but I can see phones/tablets really helping people who thread a lot. Plus it has the added benefit of being voice, which many people prefer. Text can often be misunderstood because it doesn't have tone, but I see VoiceThread as a solid alternative.
