 * How Web 2.0 Technologies are Shaping Education**

In the beginning, the Internet was mostly used to gain and access information posted by others, but the introduction of new web technologies have changed the way people interact and communicate on the Internet.


 * Web 1.0 was the Internet as a library where you went to look up information. Most content was one-way!
 * Web 2.0 is about collaboration, connecting and learning from each other. Information as conversation. Social interaction and participation is a feature of many new technologies.

Young people all around the world are using new technologies to link and connect with each other. The challenge for educators is to prepare them for their future!
