This keynote presentation was given at the 8th Annual Faculty Technology Showcase at Bloomfield College in New Jersey, January 2012.
This presentation addressed the then-current advertising tagline that "There's an app for that" which has moved into education as a possible solution for many software needs. Apps – small, easy to download software for mobile devices – are changing how students use technology. It is also changing the way colleges design and deploy software. How are schools reacting to this app world? This presentation examines how mobile and web apps are currently being developed and used, and the ways educators can implement them for teaching and for campus-wide initiatives.

2. From bricks to clicks… and
beyond
Welcome to the new normal, but first we must take a trip
down the not too distant memory lane.
The Genesis of “The Web”
In the beginning there was an expansive void….
Web 0.0
From a historic point of view 1990/1991 is the official birth of the
(commercial) Internet, which was available to the general public. From
this date on you see a lot of technical and infrastructural evolution.
3. Web History 101
Web 1.0 – The static web & shopping carts
Experts call the Internet before 1999 “Read-Only” web. The average internet
user’s role was limited to reading the information which was presented to him or
her. The best examples of this 1.0 web era are millions of static websites which
mushroomed during the dot-com boom. There was no active communication or
information flow from consumer (of the information) to producer (of the
information). But the information age was born!
But wait there’s more
The first shopping cart applications, which most e-commerce website owners use
in some shape or form, basically fall under the category of Web 1.0. The overall
goal was to present products to potential customers, much as a catalog or a
brochure does — only through a website retailers could also provide a method for
anyone (anywhere in the world) to purchase (their) products.
4. Web History 101
Web 2.0… The lack of active interaction of common users with the web lead to
the birth of Web 2.0. This era empowered the common user with a few new concepts
like Blogs, Social-Media & Video-Streaming. Publishing your content is only a few clicks
away! A few remarkable developments of Web 2.0 are; Twitter, YouTube, EzineArticles,
Flickr, and Facebook.
And then…..
Web 3.0 – The semantic executing web
Web 3.0 will be a “read-write-execute” web. It seems we had everything we had
wished for in Web 2.0, but it is way behind when it comes to intelligence. Perhaps a six-year-
old child has/had better analytical abilities than existing search technologies! The
keyword based searches of web 2.0 resulted in an information overload. The following
attributes are going to be a part of Web 3.0: Contextual searches, tailor made searches,
personalized searches, evolution of 3D Web, and deductive reasoning.
5.
6. The Future is Now
Web 4.0 – Open, Linked and Intelligent Web
Although Web 4.0 still is in developing mode and the true shape is still forming,
first signals are in that Web 4.0 will be about a linked web which communicates
with us like we communicate with each other (like a personal assistant). Web
4.0 is called the “symbiotic” web. This Web will be very powerful and fully
executing. Web 4.0 will be known as the read-write-execution-concurrency
web.
What does this imply for you as teachers,
administrators, and course designers?

Editor's Notes
The world has changed; our students have changed, and traditional schools are no longer up to the task of educating young people for the future.
According to Papp and Matulich (2011) Millennials prefer multi-media and visual learning, web, cell phone, IM, MP3s, and online communities.
