WEB 2.0, CLASSROOM 2.0, & LIBRARY 2.0
Part 1.
In the beginning of the Web
• Static Web sites • Source of information/simple answers • Limited media--photos & illustrations • One-way communication • Needed design & coding skills • Needed proprietary software • Access to a server

in a whole new ^ way!
Sites and tools that let us • Explore • Customize • Collaborate • Create • Share • Communicate
Characteristics of Web 2.0 Tools
• Not tied to a device--Internet access needed
• Portability--available from any device
• No software--but Web plug-ins
• No programming • OS not an issue usually
(although browser may matter)
• User-generated content • Sharing--content,
expertise • Global connections • Perpetual Beta
Classroom 1.0
• Teacher imparting knowledge • Group work F2F • Desktop computing • Software licenses • Email attachments • Textbooks • Flash drives • Poster board • Limited media • Audience was the teacher &
maybe the class Image: 'One Room School House on the Prairie' http://www.flickr.com/photos/26653963@N00/134273479

Why Classroom 2.0? • Encourage collaboration and engagement to
involve every student in something that is personally engaging
• More opportunities for content creation on a broader stage
• Involves the students in a very proactive learning environment
• It’s the future of education
Library Research 1.0
• Resources limited to what was on hand
• Print encyclopedia, books
• Citation manuals • Readers’ Guide • Interlibrary Loan
• Local interviews • Photocopies • Index cards • Static presentations
– Research papers – Posters

Information Literacy Key to Success
• Academic • Work life • Daily life • Lifelong learning
Why Information Literacy?
New Yorker Cartoon Bank http://www.cartoonbank.com/page/home
Libraries & Librarians Vital for research at all levels
• Information experts • Access to resources • Ability to connect people & resources • Ability to connect information &
