Week 12


"One of the big changes at the heart of web 2.0 is the shift from the creation of software artifacts, which is what the PC revolution was about, to the creation of software services. These are services that ultimately, if they are successful, will require competencies of operation, of scale, and the like"


    Hi everybody, I know it's a little strange, but I'm starting again with this week. I was absent from here for different reasons, but I'm here now to tell you about what I learned this week.

    Have you ever heard about Web 2.0? Well, me neither. However there is a lot of information about this topic. Web 2.0 is a concept started by Tim O'Reilly and Dale Dougherty for a conference. Web 2.0 is related to web applications that make easier to share information and collaborative work on line. These new advances let people who use Internet to interact and collaborate to develop a virtual community, where every user is the owner of the content, and make possible that everybody could be benefited by using it. 

    In this time we can use different applications on line to make possible this kind of development. Those applications will be used for different purposes, such as to make animations, recording and videos; blogs, social networks, virtual platforms, wikis and so on.

    These applications are important tools to be used in the teaching process because it's possible to make the most these resources with educational purposes. Nowadays, students use technology more than before. For them, it could be more interesting this new way to present homework. It's also a good benefit for teachers, too, because we can share information and advise to do a better job every day, and help other also. 

     Is mandatory for teachers be aware and prepared to make the most of technology, and learn more about how to apply knowledge to be a better and modern teacher, to be in contact with students and be a competitive member in this new society.

     Well, it's all for me for today. Next well I'll be back to share more about what I'm learning and how I'm preparing myself to be a good teacher. Here I leave some web sites and videos to explain better what is Web 2.0 and how to be benefited by using that.

                                                                              See ya.
