Let’s Get Started…

Welcome,

Let’s begin by exploring and brainstorming. Look through a few of the links below, then write in the comment of this post, what you think might be some of the characteristics of “web 2.0″. You have 10 minutes! This is quick warm-up!

• Mabry Online
• Mr Barlow’sBlog
• ABC Video Podcasts
• Classroom 2.0 – Ning
• Pageflakes Feeds
• Silobreaker
• Wikipedia Portals

Of these, taken together, are a pretty good set of exemplars to “Web 2.0,” what do you suppose that means?
