Web 2.0 and Learning 2.0 is Exciting!

My Discoveries!
This week my discoveries in facilitation and on-line learning have taken me down the track of Web 2.0 and Learning 2.0 technologies, tools and methods. On my blog you may notice many new links for accessing other social networks I am connected to. Most have the potential as a learning and teaching tool in the practice of Instructional Technology, only limited by, access and imagination.

What is Web 2.0?
There are many tools that are common to our usage that are Web 2.0 in nature, i.e., this blog, Flicker, Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn, to name a few.

Web 2.o seems to be many things to many people. One thing for sure, this new perception of internet usage is only at a beginning stage of development, and is setting new standards of WWW utilization. Characteristics of Web 2.0: user content, context driven and collaboration is its engine. This is an unfolding phenomenon! I would like to invite you to follow along this discovery tract, we are sure to uncover some useful information and tools for our use!

My definition, hum ... let see? I haven't narrowed it down yet. Though, I did find some people who are thinking about it. See what Bill O'Reilly says in the "What the Experts Say"section of this blog.
