Electronics and ICT at Manangatang P12 College » Learning the ropes http://electrons.edublogs.org Technology subjects at Manang P12 College - Another excellent Edublogs.org weblog Thu, 23 Oct 2008 09:37:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 What exactly is “Web2.0″? http://electrons.edublogs.org/2008/10/23/what-exactly-is-web20/ http://electrons.edublogs.org/2008/10/23/what-exactly-is-web20/#comments Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:28:47 +0000 electrons http://electrons.edublogs.org/?p=11 I asked this question to myself and found no immediate answers bumping me on the head is I began my Web2.0 online course with Sunraysia Mallee Schools Network (SMSN) and Darrel Branson (the ICT Guy).

So I asked Darrell about it and he gave me this very adequate answer (emphasis added) -

Hi Glen,

Wikipedia is a good source (and good for further reading). See the definition section.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web2.0 

It’s probably not that important to explain exactly what it is. However, I would sum it up in the 4 words – The read/write web.

We not only read from it, but we can easily write to it (think blogs, wikis, podcasts, flickr, youtube, etc)

After that it just gets technical 

Cheers
Darrel

If you wish further information than that, then the Wikipedia link has lots more detail …

This is a collection of links that I found useful as I began leaning about Blogs and all things associated with them. I’m still learning about Blogs … but I know a little more than I used to.

Hope these links are useful to you too!

This is my first post on my new Blog.

I have created this Blog to use for my classes at Manangatang P12 College.

I am looking forward to learning how to put tabs on the top of my Blog to link to the other pages I have created for my subjects – I haven’t seen any easy way to get to them from the main page yet???

You can find my Blog at –  http://electrons.edublogs.org/

You can email me at – mrfogarty777 at gmail dot com

(you have to manully replace the ” at ” with a “@”, and the ” dot ” with a “.”)

Please post a comment here so that I can see what would happen if students were to post to me, and so I can try out editing a submitted post …
