I really enjoyed this article, so I decided to read it. This article talks about Web 2.0, describes what it is, their technologies / services and the implications of using these technologies in education. There are a number of Web-based services and applications that demonstrates the foundations of the Web 2.0 concept, and they are already being used to a certain extent in education. For example: blogs, wikis, multimedia sharing services, content syndication, podcasting and content tagging services.
In this article we read that the functionality of each of these services, web 2.0, and realize the advantages of its use in education. I completely agree with these advantages, and I share the idea that the use of these tools in education are a powerful tool for teachers and students. The usefulness of these tools in education are many.
As we have seen, there are a number of technology services that are often posited as representing the Web 2.0 concept in some way. In recent months, however, there has been an explosion of new ideas, applications and start-up companies working on ways to extend existing services. Some of these are likely to become more important than others, and some are certainly more likely to be more relevant to education than others.
With the use of wikis, students work together to interpret texts, author articles and essays, share ideas, and improve their research and communication skills collectively44. Wikis provides the opportunity for students to reflect and comment on either their work or others, wikis can be useful writing tools that aid composition practice, and that blogs are particularly useful for allowing students to follow stories over a period of time and reviewing the changing nature of how they are commented on by various voices.
These services (wiki, blogs, ...) allows the application of pedagogical techniques reported by Morten Paulsen in The Online Report on Pedagogical Techniques for Computer-Mediated Communication.
