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)
