This document discusses the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies and their potential applications for education. It covers topics like wikis, blogs, social networking sites, tagging, and how these can enable new forms of collaboration, discussion, and knowledge sharing in educational contexts. Examples are given of various universities and projects that are experimenting with Web 2.0 tools in teaching, research, and interactive storytelling.
