Web 2.0 allows for more collaboration and sharing on the internet compared to earlier technologies. It enables users to actively generate and edit content online through tools like blogs, wikis, social media, and video sharing. This shift from static websites to dynamic user-generated content has important implications for education by making learning more social and learner-centered. The document discusses how Web 2.0 can support approaches like project-based and problem-based learning by facilitating collaboration between students on research projects and problem solutions. Educators are encouraged to leverage Web 2.0 tools like wikis, blogs, and video sharing to engage students in authentic learning activities.
