"Web 2.0", a phrase coined by O'Reilly Media in 2003 (O’Reilly, 2005), refers to a perceived second generation of web-based interactions, applications and communities.
It is considered to be inclusive of a shift from a World Wide Web that is “read only” to a Web that is being described as the “Read Write Web” (Gillmor, 2007). The Web is evolving to become more like an area for social and idea networking.
Students negotiate meanings and connections within Web 2.0 social spaces or idea networks, exchange bits of content, create new content, and collaborate in new ways.
In summary, O'Reilly (2005) indicates that, "Web 2.0" stands for the idea that the Internet is evolving from a collection of static pages into a vehicle for software services, especially those that foster self-publishing, participation, and collaboration
User-centered Web 2.0 phenomena are disrupting traditional ideas about how students
interact online and how content is generated, shared, and distributed.
