The document introduces Web 2.0 technologies like blogs, wikis, RSS, social networking, and mashups. It discusses how libraries and information professionals can use these tools to engage with users, share resources and monitor discussions. Specific examples are provided of blogs being used for marketing and keeping up with developments, wikis for collaboration, Flickr and del.icio.us for sharing photos and bookmarks. Risk management strategies for adopting new technologies are also outlined.

The document discusses the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies and their potential applications in education. Some key aspects covered include the rise of social media platforms that allow for collaborative writing, tagging and sharing of content; the growth of rich media like podcasting; and the potential for transmedia storytelling using multiple online platforms. Concerns about privacy and overuse of such technologies in education are also addressed.

Talk by Brian Kelly, UKOLN on "New to the Sector? New to Web Management? New to IWMW?" given at UKOLN's IWMW 2012 event held in Edinburgh on 18-20 June 2012. See http://iwmw.ukoln.ac.uk/iwmw2012/talks/newcomers/

The document discusses the role of social web tools like blogs, microblogs, wikis and social sharing in scholarly communication. It describes the author's personal experiences using these tools to support writing a paper, get feedback and maximize the paper's impact. However, it also notes challenges like not all researchers finding these tools suitable, sustainability issues if services disappear, and lack of clear evidence on tangible benefits. More research is needed but some researchers are starting to adopt these tools.

The document discusses implications of a report on higher education in a Web 2.0 world for IT service departments. It suggests that IT services embrace cloud computing and make use of social web tools. Departments should provide infrastructure while respecting user preferences and explore opportunities like new funding models. Risk management, resource investigation, and frameworks are recommended to guide strategic deployment of new technologies.

Blogs and wikis can be used to differentiate instruction by allowing students to communicate outside of the classroom, collaborate on projects, and publish examples of work. Both tools allow for instant publishing and free or low-cost use. While blogs are more linear and directed, wikis are more collaborative and dynamic. Popular wikis include Wikipedia and Wikispecies. Teachers can use blogs to provide materials and Q&A sessions and wikis for group projects and collaborative works. RSS feeds allow users to aggregate news and updates from blogs and other sources.

The document provides tips on how libraries can enhance their role by experimenting with and integrating these technologies. It also discusses strategies for convincing school leadership of the importance of adapting to changing technologies and student needs.

Web 1.0 focused on content delivery and consumption by students, driven by institutional needs rather than learners. Web 2.0 aims to enhance creativity, information sharing, and collaboration among users through user-generated content and two-way information flows. Popular Web 2.0 tools for teachers include blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, social networking, podcasts and video sharing which facilitate knowledge creation and sharing in new ways.

What is Web 2.0 and how can it be of use to those working in international development communications? This e-tutorial gives a basic introduction to Web 2.0 and its potential. It contains examples of how development communicators have used web 2.0, and provides examples of appropriate web 2.0 tools and services.Each slide in this PowerPoint e-tutorial is supported by notes that are intended to be read in conjunction with the slides.

Web 2.0 allows users to create and share dynamic content, moving from a "read only" web to an interactive "read and write" experience. It includes social media sites, blogs, wikis, video and photo sharing. Using these tools in education provides opportunities for students to collaborate, share information, and engage in constructivist learning. Educators should consider their objectives and appropriate tools to achieve them while balancing privacy and security issues. Examples of free Web 2.0 tools discussed are blogs, wikis, YouTube, social bookmarking, and social networking.

This document discusses the concept of Web 2.0 and its potential impact for information professionals. It defines Web 2.0 as the second generation of web-based communities and services that aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing among users. Some key Web 2.0 technologies discussed include blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, social bookmarking, social networking, podcasts/webcasts, and instant messaging. The document explores how libraries can use these technologies both to interact with and better serve their users.

This document discusses trends in technology and education, including the rise of Web 2.0 technologies like blogging and social media. It notes that these technologies have shifted power from institutions to individuals, enabling collaboration and participation on a global scale. In education, it argues this shift calls for more student-centered, collaborative learning environments that leverage Web 2.0 tools, as students are already using these tools outside of school.

Exploring Web 2.0:: Second Generation Interactive Tools - Blogs, Podcasts, Wikis, Networking, Virtual Words, And More Ann Bell Chapters 1 and 6

This session offers an overview of three e-learning tools: blogs, wikis, and ePortfolios. Each presenter will discuss one tool, providing pedagogical theory, along with practical benefits and challenges to using the technology. Finally, the panelists will present examples of how these technologies can be put into practices in the classroom.

This document discusses potential uses of Web 2.0 technologies for teaching, including blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, and media sharing. Blogs can develop writing skills and allow for reflection and sharing of resources. Wikis allow for collaboration on multi-page, multi-author projects and reports. Social bookmarking facilitates organizing and sharing internet favorites and online resources. Media sharing allows for organizing, sharing, and finding images, video, and slides. Web 2.0 tools like blogs, wikis, and tagging can also be incorporated into learning management systems like Moodle to enhance collaboration and resource discovery.

The document provides an overview of Web 2.0 technologies and their use in libraries. It discusses how Web 2.0 allows users to interact with websites in new ways through social networking, sharing content, and collaboration. Examples of Web 2.0 tools presented include blogs, wikis, social bookmarking, and RSS feeds. The document also outlines how the library's Quality and Development team is using these technologies, such as creating subject guides with shared bookmarks and publicizing events through blogs and RSS feeds. Implications for information literacy teaching are also briefly mentioned.

The document discusses various Web 2.0 tools that can be used in classrooms, including blogs, wikis, podcasts, and social networking/bookmarking. It provides examples of how teachers have integrated these tools into their curriculum to engage students and encourage collaboration. Real-world skills like problem-solving are developed through these interactive digital platforms.
