What is meant by Web 2.0?

Visible to anyone in the world

I consider Web 2.0 to mean collaboration.  It offers a place where participants can add content to contribute to the group to form discussion, debate and development.

If I take the example of Mural.ly – a site that allows you to upload content such as: Videos; Documents; Images; post-it notes etc. on to a canvas/noticeboard of information.  I may create an activity for my group to research and discuss on what is meant by ‘safeguarding in leisure’.  They can search for content, share on the mural.ly board, add comments etc. and together form a collection of ideas and learning objects.  They can add the content wherever they are and the content that makes sense to them.  It forms a collage of information and ideas.
