The end is in site! The end is in site!
Throughout the course of this Learning 2.0 program, we have explored a small sampling of these new internet technologies and websites that are empowering users with the ability to create and share content. Estimates place the number of Web 2.0 tools somewhere between 300 and 500, with only a handful emerging as market dominators. Time will tell which of these new collaborative, social networking and information tools will remains on top, come and go, one thing that is for sure, these tools are here to stay.
For this discovery exercise, participants are asked to select any site from this of Web 2.0 nominees and winners explore it. With so many to choose from, it might be handy to first select a category that interests you, or jump right to the list of the winners. Be careful to select a tool that is Free and that doesn’t require a plug-in or download. The majority of these are free, so this shouldn’t be a problem.
Discovery Exercise:
- Select any tool/site from the list of Web 2.0 Awards nominees or winners.
- Explore the site you selected.
- Create a post about your discover. What did you like or dislike about the tool? What were the site’s useful features? Could you see any applications for its use in a library setting?
There is SO much to explore in Web 2.0, so just start with one!
That's a good list, but it seems heavily on the social tools and a little light on the one for academic use. May I suggest a good short list of the academic tools/networks?
