Web2.0+LMS

=**Web 2.0 for Library Media Specialists**=

Things we'll cover today:

What is Web 2.0?
 * ==What does it look like?==

My professional blog: [|http://sharpsitrt.edublogs.org]

My son Jonah's website: http://www.jonahsharp.org

Characteristics of a Web 2.0 site:
 * Collaboration and communication
 * RSS Feeds for easy following
 * A "social" aspect to the site
 * Groups of people communicating and sharing information easily, through a web browser.

This page--a wiki: a collaborative space on the internet.


 * ==How is it used?==

Web 2.0 is used by people more and more all over the world. Some of the more common places are [|TeacherTube], [|YouTube], and [|Facebook].Each of these serves a purpose and works from within a web browser, so users don't have to know anything really technological to participate. If one can point, click and type, then one can participate.

Some samples of Web 2.0 pages can be found at

What are some of the different "Web 2.0" Technologies? [|Common Craft's] short movie on [|Blogs]. [|Common Craft] has short movies on many different Web 2.0 technologies. [|Here's one on Wikis]. Another [|Common Craft] movie on [|Real Simple Syndication or RSS]. See the link in the navigation bar to the left for a page of information on Podcasting.
