Web 2.0 Tools for Teaching and Learning

About

In collaboration with various Maricopa faculty members, instructional technologists and designers, MCLI offers various faculty development opportunties to enhance teaching and learning using Web 2.0 tools. The term "Web 2.0" describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aim to enhance creativity, communications, secure information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web culture communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term first became notable after the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004 (source: wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0).
