Web 2.0 encompasses Internet technologies such as blogging, wikis, swickis and
podcasting. Web 2.0 is the second generation Internet that can facilitate collaboration
and sharing between users such as teachers and learners.
"Web 2.0", is a phrase that was coined by O'Reilly Media in 2003 and
popularised by the first Web 2.0 conference in 2004. It is a reference to a perceived "second
generation of web-based communities and hosted services"
.
