Manipulating Artifacts
Web 2.0 is characterized by software that supports easy Web content creation in the form of blogs, wikis, digital media uploading websites, and new types of online social networking websites. Software advances make it easier for more people to participate as Web content creators. Websites where users are participants in Web content creation have brought an increasingly robust social nature to Web 2.0 that has built upon the spirit of simpler online communities that formed in the first decade of the World Wide Web. Another important trend influencing Web 2.0 is an increase in options for openness in the creation of software and the growing phenomenon of the Free Culture Movement.
It is in this Free Culture Movement that we find educators using Web 2.0 utilities And manipulating these tools to fit a specific training or teaching need. To encompass all the uses of manipulated artifacts would cover more than this Digital Portfolio can hold. I hope that you enjoy my interpretation of just a few of these tools.
