1) A one-sentence definition (understanding/perspectives/beliefs/opinions are also fine) on Web 2.0 by each group member (What do YOU think Web 2.0 is?). Web 2.0 refers to individuals being able to engage in information sharing, interoperability, user- centered design and collaboration on the web.-Amber Valenti Gina - Web 2.0 is a movement away from our typical websites and moving towards more interactive things such as social networking.

Amy- Web 2.0 is a newer, advanced version of the World Wide Web. It is used to commuicate with others, transfer information quickly and effectively along with many other advancemtnets. Web 2.0 can be used for educational purposes much like we would use it or for board meeting like bussiness companies would use. It can be simple to learn basics but can get very difficult when getting to the others uses such as makeing a website or blogging. It can be used to creavtity and expess one's slef.

Walter- Web 2.0 is the new face of the internet which includes things like wikipedia,facebook,wikis,wikipedia, and bittorrent.

2) One superb example of educational uses of these new tools on Web 2.0 in K-12 setting. You will work as a team, search internet, find and view a lot of class wikis created by others for their elementary and middles school classes, and then choose one that your group think is the best. You need to identify the content area (social studies, science, math, language arts...) and the grade level of the wiki you find. You also need to include a short paragraph describing why your group thinks this is a "superb" example. This website is very useful for students as well as teachers because there are many of resources. The website is mainly about health and has a little science activities. It is hands on in a way where students can play games while learning, and have fun exploring all they need to know about health. The website integrates health and science by connecting each subject together. This website best suites a sixth grade class but can be very informative for other grades as well.
