WEB 1.0
Powerful resource for educators
and students, but…
Information moves from
publishers to consumers
Information cannot be edited
Read-Only Web
One-Way Web

WEB2.0
It is now as easy to create
as it is to consume.
Anyone can publish, share,
and change information
Read/Write Web
Two-Way Web
This is changing our world!

What’s the
difference?
Web1.0
was about technology
Web2.0
is about people and community
