The Internet Now and Before..
The only thing that I learned recently is 5 Yrs ago just a resource for
using the open source systems on the teaching only, but now it’s
internet which opened a lot of horizons related to everything around
for interacting and communicating me. It’s part of my daily life.

5 years ago the internet to me was for information, music and emails.
Today I use it for shopping, doing research, studying, shopping,
getting movies, communicating, watching movies, playing chess,
letters, ....... almost every thing. I now travel with a laptop.

Web 2.0 for Educators
• Collaborative, social, and personal..
The Social Web provides: A folksonomy is an Internet-based information retrieval
methodology consisting of collaboratively generated, open-
ended labels that categorize content such as Web pages,
• Feedback online photographs, and Web links.
• Interaction A folksonomy is most notably contrasted from a taxonomy in
• “data” that the authors of the labeling system are often the main
users (and sometimes originators) of the content to which the
labels are applied. The labels are commonly known as tags
and the labeling process is called tagging…
In contrast to professionally developed taxonomies with
controlled vocabularies, folksonomies are unsystematic and,
from an information scientist's point of view, undependable and
inconsistent; however, for Internet users, they dramatically
lower content categorization costs because there is no
hierarchically organized nomenclature to learn. One simply
makes tags up on the fly
