Reflection
What are Web 2.0. & Web 3.0 technologies?
Web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the
World Wide Web. Web tools that cater to individual needs
regardless of learning diversity and language competence.
WEB 2.0. & WEB 3.0 TECHNOLOGIES
“ Malaysian reads an average of 8 books per
year” -Bernama, 29th May 2010.
“ Teenager reads an average of 2300 web
pages and 1281 Facebook profiles per
year.”-Stanford University, 2009.
TRANSITION IN LEARNING
And the list keeps growing and expanding as I speak…
It's not about the tools, it's using the tools to facilitate learning.
- Churches (2009)
THE EXPERTS
• Learning should be about sharing information, interacting and engaging the students.
-Tapscott & Williams (2010 )• A multiliterate teacher understands the many
ways that technology intertwines with academic and interpersonal life and actively learns how to gain control over those aspects. –Stevens (2011)
