What have I learned from Social Web 2.0

The first thing to say about this new method of learning is that it is a very creative way to learn and teach. It is indeed an up to date method that goes hand in hand with the fast technological progress.

Secondly, unlike the 1.0 Web, the social web 2.0 is dynamic, it offers non static knowledge and it permits the teacher as well as the pupils to add to that knowlegde at any time and from everywhere.

Thirdly, it is a cross-disciplinary web. It incompasses many disciplines and many knowledge sectors at the same time.
It adopts bottom-up approach to teaching . In fact, there is no room for a holder of information, i.e, no room for Knowledge Watchdogs. In this web , there is no specific owner of the knowledge. Knowledge is shared and provided by all the participants in this web.

This social web follows new and creative teaching methods. For example, it can make use of games, videos, podcast, maps, messaging both instant and non instant, chatting,etc.

To wrap up, this social web 2.0 functions in the following way: Browsing, clicking, chatting, communicating, and commenting. It can be improved only on the basis of the loggers comments :) In fact, the user is at the same time a consumer and a producer.
