Evolution of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 |
Educators Ratings of Web 2.0 Tools |
Web
2.0 for the Classroom Teacher |
Web 1.0 is a
retronym (a word introduced because an existing term has become inadequate)
which refers to the state of the World Wide Web, and any website design style
used before the advent of the Web 2.0 ... Wikipedia
Read-Only Web; static web - provide information
Web 2.0 = Web
2.0 websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information. They can
build on the interactive facilities of "Web
1.0" to provide
"Network as platform" computing, allowing users to run software-applications
entirely through a browser. - Wikipedia
Read-Write Web; relies on user participation
Web 3.0 = Some
Internet experts believe the next generation of the Web -- Web 3.0
-- will make tasks like your search for movies and food faster and easier.
Instead of multiple searches, you might type a complex sentence or two in your
Web 3.0 browser, and the Web will do the rest. In our example, you could type "I
want to see a funny movie and then eat at a good Mexican restaurant. What are my
options?" The Web 3.0 browser will analyze your response, search the Internet
for all possible answers, and then organize the results for you.
That's not all. Many of these experts believe that the Web 3.0 browser will act
like a personal assistant. As you search the Web, the browser learns what you
are interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about
you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions. Eventually you
might be able to ask your browser open questions like "where should I go for
lunch?" Your browser would consult its records of what you like and dislike,
take into account your current location and then suggest a list of restaurants.

Wordle.com creates "word cloud" Poetry |
Create a Wordle on an
Education Topic (Due: Oct. 21) a. Click on Create. b. In the top textbox, type your words. *Note* The more a word is repeated in this textbox, the larger it will be in the word cloud. For instance, I would type Smith 3 times so that it stands out from the other names. To keep 2 or more words together, add a ~ between them e.g. hot~fudge~sundae c. To keep words in a phrase use a tilde between words - Happy~Birthday~to~Tom
d. Click Go. e. Click Randomize to create different layout. f. You can also customize the look of your word cloud using the toolbar at the top of your screen.
