What is Web 2.0?
 If there's one thing Web 2.0 sites have in common,
                  it's what they're not.

Web 2.0 sites are not online places to visit so much as
           services to get something done,
              usually with other people.

Twitter is a Web 2.0 Tool
“A whole new Web is emerging from the wilds of
cyberspace.

It's no longer all about idly surfing and passively
reading, listening, or watching.

It's about doing: sharing, socializing, collaborating,
and, most of all creating.”

                                  It's A Whole New Web
                                  And this time around it will be built by you
                                  SEPTEMBER 26, 2005
Remember:
             Technology is just a tool.
              A good tool in the hands
       of a caring educator can work magic.
