Web 2.0 is
the second stage of development of the Internet, characterized especially by the change from static web pages to dynamic or user-generated content and the growth of social networking.
Examples of Web 2.0:
The first example I have of Web 2.0 is Youtube. Youtube is a social networking site which allows people to upload videos and share, like, subscribe and comment on their own or other people's videos from all over the world. This is Web 2.0 as it allows people to interact with one another and allows people to have the creativity of making their own account and adjust their settings to how they like. When you have a Youtube account these options come up on the left hand side of what you can do, it means that people are completely independent and responsible to personalise and customize their own account to what they want to see, when they want to see and what they have already watched.
Gauntlett's ideas about Web 2.0:
This video discusses and shows David Gauntlett's ideas of Web 2.0. He believes that Web 2.0 is about the making and connecting of people all around the world, and that we create the internet. The idea he has of Web 2.0 is that as technology has developed instead of the websites being created for us we are creating the websites for ourselves and everyone else around the world.
WWW - You have one example of web 2.0 and you have embedded a video to help your learning.
ReplyDeleteEBI - You develop your response to David Gauntlett. Why does he think that? Do you agree with what he is saying? You also appear to be missing some of the other theorists such as Wesch.
