Web 2.0 is an invaluable and necessary vehicle for collaboration, interaction, and connection. It hosts a vast resource of tools, many of them FREE, that have the power to enhance daily living, working, learning, and playing! It has evolved from a large data base (Web 1.0) to this media rich, read-write toolbox. As stated by Will Richardson in a Youtube segment, "more people are publishing, more people are connecting; this is the foundation for life-long learning." We need to keep a few key ideas in mind about Web 2.0:
* these are exponential times
* we are preparing our children for jobs we do not even know exist yet
* in order to create change, we must understand it for ourselves
