Web 2.0 New Possibilities for Education

world in which the Web is seen as a two-way
medium, where people are both readers and
writers. The main catalyst for this is social
software, allowing communication and
collaboration between two or more people.

Glogster EDU 2.0

• The innovative characteristic of EDU 2.0 is
• a shift to educational social networking in the
• classroom and beyond.
• Teachers and students share Glogs graphic
  elements, projects, and ideas. They are able to
  establish groups not only within a classroom or
  school but also within a state, region, or beyond
  and thus promote their work with a broad audience
  of educators and students. At the same time they
  are protected from inappropriate outside content
  because teachers securely administer accounts,
  groups and discussion boards.
