Learning in the 21st century has taken on a new dimension with the exponential expansion of information, ever-changing tools, increasing digitization of text, heightened demands for critical and creative thinking, communication, and collaborative problem solving. To succeed in our rapid paced, global society, our learners must be able to access high –quality information from diverse perspectives, make sense of it to draw their own conclusions or create new knowledge, and share their knowledge with others.

WHAT IS WEB 2.O?
The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design,[1] and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.
