Chapter 1 - Web 2.0

Chapter one explains what Web 2.0 is and why it is the wave of the future and why it is so important that we as educators get on board. Our world has become "flattened' meaning that there is competition all over the world for services and if we don't promote creativity, collaboration, and communication we are going to fall behind other nations. Because of web tools the user has much more capability to change the way things are done. Web 1.0 was one sided with the user not having the ability to interact, but now all people have the chance to make a difference. So as educators it is our job to now enable our students with these abilities and tools and the time is now.
