What is "Web 2.0"?

Some trivia: Tim O'Reilly coined the phrase "Web 2.0" at a conference in 2004 to symbolize the radical transformation of web applications from static read/write pages to interactive, collaborative, and participatory applications.

Here's a definition from Wikipedia, of course...

Web 2.0

jargon

A loosely defined term for web applications that go beyond displaying individual pages of static content and allow a community of users to interact with the site and each other by adding or updating the content.

"Web 2.0." The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing. Denis Howe. 24 Oct. 2010. <Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Web 2.0>.

These interactive, collaborative, and participatory applications and tools
are changing the way students access, interact with, and use information
to create knowledge.
