What's the Difference: Web 1.0 versus Web 2.0?

It can be very difficult to determine the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0.“Web 1.0 is the first state of World Wide Web which was in the basic Read Only hypertext system.” It is known as the state of the World Wide Web before Web 2.0. Web 1.0 uses basic html for publishing content and has Read-Only content, just reading information. Also, Web 1.0 sites are usually not interactive. It is the first shopping cart application, allowing website owners to presents potential products to customers. Web 2.0 encourages creativity, communication and networking among the internet users, also know as the Read-Write-Publish era. It the networking platform where internet users can interact and communicate with other users. 


There are many new tools from Web 2.0 to help a teacher in the classroom. Many tools help keep students more engaged in a topic or give them the creativity to express themselves. One tool is Prezi.  Prezi is like a PowerPoint, but is more animated with half the work. It offers different templates or you can create your own. In a classroom, you could use it in any subject because it presents information is a more eye catching way. Quizlet is a great tool to make flashcards online. Teachers and students can create flashcards or use the study mode to review a topic. Also, teachers can customize test with multiple choice or matching questions. I would use this tool in English or Science because it would be a good tool for learning or studying vocabulary. Using blogs such as Blogger or Weebly is a great tool. As a teacher, I could use blogs to have students answer focus questions in English, Social Studies or Science. Also, I could have them write reflections on a book or experiment, or write an essay for a topic.
