WEB 2.0 ON THE GO!

-


REFLECTION

          I totally haven’t heard about Web 2.0 before. It actually caught my attention when I saw this as a task to do. As I start digging out details about this, I find this very interesting. Web 2.0 tools help people create, edit, participate and share informational contents online. Web 2.0 also serves as an open communicator. Teachers consider this very beneficial in a way of tackling lessons in another dimension by browsing other websites that can broaden their discussions. Several tools are free which bring convenience to discover applications that can be used in teaching such as document tools, media tools, presentation tools, community tools, and a lot more to mention. However, enough care must be applied while using these tools to prevent malwares invading our computer’s system. Pop-ups may still be present that are prone to viruses and scam. We just have to choose the right tools that are efficient for us to use.

THE POWER AND PERIL OF WEB 3.0

Reflection

          As many people are still on the grip to know about Web 2.0, others are already thinking ahead what Web 3.0 would be like. In this article, Web 3.0 is also called as the Semantic Web. The goal states that users should spend less time looking for information and more time using and participating with what they find. As indicated in other words, less slogging, more blogging. Leap 1 is considered to be simple as it uses intelligent tagging. The hypertext markup language (HTML) plays a very significant role here. In order to decode the source, computer-programming skills insert here. Meanwhile, leap 3 yields to complexity as it uses shared ontologies and databases. Based from the text, it’s not just sharing tags, but whole ontologies. This already involves several parties that make it more complicated. Web 3.0 in a deeper thought, simplifies the task of hackers. It also leads to less anonymity.


          The goal of Web 3.0 in the aspect of education is to lessen time spent in searching for information since we are now in a digital universe where technology is just one snap away. Students don’t have to pile their cabinets with printed literacies since not all of them are semantically synced into the web.

    Hi Maria

    I absolutely love your blog. I can relate to your statement "I totally haven’t heard about Web 2.0 before. It actually caught my attention when I saw this as a task to do.". I feel the same way you did and now I am enlightened by the fact that the World Wide Web actually exists in by two different and phases and soon to be three.
