Web 2.0:
 Web 2.0 as compared to Web 1.0: "In my view, the most basic definition for Web 2.0 is a site that does something unique, practical, and powerful while creating a social connection. Web 1.0 sites are more static, rely too heavily on HTML, lack strong social connection features, and are often poorly designed. I think design plays a crucial roll in what makes a site qualify for the Web 2.0 distinction: sites that emphasize usability and simplicity over a cacophony of features and a sprawling array of text and graphics. You can go to a Web 2.0 site and find out within just a few minutes what the site does and how to use it. A Web 1.0 site throws everything at you at once, splat." ([])

WebQuest:
 An inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. These can be created using various programs, including a simple word processing document that includes links to websites. ([])

Type I vs. Type II technology:
 Type I technology is technology that tends to be used to reinforce already learned ideas, while Type II would be used to engage the student in solving new problems, thinking critically to make connections or analyze information, or tackling new thinking processes. This means that the user is really in the driver's seat more with Type II technology than Type I; users of Type I tech would be more like observers, while users of Type II would be more interactive. From this understanding of the two types of technology, I think three examples of Type I technology would be: videos, spell check, and calculators. Three examples of Type II technology would be: constructive technology like video-making or blogging programs, video games that require critical thinking and problem solving, and self-publishing websites like lulu.com.

The Internet vs. The Web:
What is The Internet? The[|Internet]is a massive[|network]of networks, a networking infrastructure. It connects millions of computers together globally, forming a network in which any[|computer]can communicate with any other computer as long as they are both connected to the Internet. Information that travels over the Internet does so via a variety of languages known as[|protocols].

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What is The Web (World Wide Web)?

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"> The [|World Wide Web], or simply Web, is a way of accessing information over the medium of the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the Internet, to transmit data. Web services, which use HTTP to allow applications to communicate in order to exchange [|business] logic, use the the Web to share information. The Web also utilizes [|browsers], such as [|Internet Explorer] or [|Firefox], to access Web [|documents] called [|Web pages] that are linked to each other via[|hyperlinks]. Web documents also contain graphics, sounds, text and video.([])
