EDLD 5352 Web Conference

I watched the recording for the February 13, 2012 web conference.  The main thing I took away from this conference is the difference between Web 1.0 and 2.0.  Web 1.0 is informational and is a one-way communication tool.  Web 2.0 is interactive and allows an individual to use tools such as blogging, wiki's, chat rooms, and so much more as a way to share information.  Anyone can share their knowledge of a topic and anyone can retreive the knowledge that is shared.  This can be extremely beneficial but one must know how to differentiate between what is fact and opinion.  If a teacher chooses to use tools on Web 2.0 to allow students to research and share, the teacher must be sure to teach the proper internet etiquette.
