Web 2.0 Essay (activity 1.13)
By: Mitzy Mújica Toache
Web 2.0 it is a tool that makes it easier to use web technology and design. It is also known as the term to describe the use of web and design improvements. It helps to improve the web we already know, it has allowed it to evolve. Web 2.0 allows users to do many things that not only involve the use to collect information. Many users can now create their own platforms and applications and let the user of the web, use it and explore it. It is difficult to find the role of Web 2.0 in education because it is not really a thing. A key is to stop being who creates and just enjoy what others create to share with us.
I think it is normal that young people are attracted to Web 2.0 tool because their affections communication that are easy to use and very intuitive. I think something that helps young people to express themselves and feel that they can help other people to create blogs or Wikia that can help others gain knowledge about something or they can talk about anything they like and share it with others. They can also share their work for others to compare, etc.
The number of blogs has increased since its inception, that is something that does not impress me because humans have the need to express our feelings and these sites can be done easily and sometimes anonymously.
The bad part of these benefits that the web 2.0 gives us is that being so simple and share knowledge, opinions and give recommendations can also be used to expose the privacy of a person or give false information as has been seen many times in Wikipedia. For the study is more than a useful tool, but students should have some ethics before use for even the best known social networks can become part of their daily lives these tools are more than just social networks and can make a big impact intellectual and must be used as such.
In my opinion you should promote the development of human intellect. People who share their experiences or feelings is also giving its audience a type of education or experience that can help change your life. Social networks, on the other hand show a negative to learn the most often face, there are very few people who try to give a suitable use for sharing knowledge.
In conclusion using web 2.0 technology it is almost essential for the development of any student, because often most research information are derived from these blogs. It's such an intuitive tool that rarely has to teach to use and it is very important that students learn to use it the most appropriate and ethical possible way
