Introduction to Web 2.0 and the vocabulary words

Below there are several videos on Web 2.0. As you listen to the videos write down the words you know or don't know on a Venn Diagram.

By the time you have finished this workshop you will be able to look at the Venn Diagram and move most of the words to the know side. By the time you finish this workshop you will also have more understanding of the direction education is taking, as well as, added understanding of Web 2.0.
