The Web 2.0 Web 2.

0 is a loosely defined intersection of web application features that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, 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 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

How young people changed

Our students have changed radically. Todays students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach. Marc Prensky, Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants New problems, new learning styles: multitask learning, a strong growth of research / exploration learning, a natural technological fluency of students that leads them to regard the web as the primary medium of research, acquisition and sharing of knowledge contents, a strong growth of collaboration / cooperation among peers through tools such as MS messenger, You Tube or the most popular social networks, a strong tendency for students to focus on the expression of their identity and their own ideas through tools such as blogs or microblogging
And now the question is: how to change the school?

I think the Web 2.0 and ICT offers a great opportunity to change the school. We need to change the point of view and to think of a new student-centered school. The tools of Web 2.0 can help to build learning environments in which to develop the self-expression, the personalization of learning, the constant sharing of information, the constant reference to peers.
