::COMPUTER IN TEACHING AND LEARNING - web 2.0 in education::

Assalamualaikum and a very good day everyone..For assignment 1 every pair need to choose one topic to be discussed. Me and my partner Erna have decided to choose the topic WEB 2.0 IN EDUCATION. Web 2.0 can be define as a technologies that provide teachers with new ways to engage students in a meaningful
way. "Children raised on new media technologies are less patient with filling out worksheets and
listening to lectures" because students already participate on a global level. Web 2.0 is focusing
on the ability of people to collaborate and share information online. The lack of participation in
a traditional classroom stems more from the fact that students receive better feedback online.
Traditional classrooms have students do assignments and when they are completed, they are
just that, finished. However, Web 2.0 shows students that education is a constantly evolving
entity. Whether it is participating in a class discussion, or participating in a forum discussion,
the technologies available to students in a Web 2.0 classroom does increase the amount they
participate. Web 2.0 consist of Blogs, Wikis and web services. Using this method, learning would become more easier an efficient.
