Putting it simply

I mentioned recently how hard it is to explain educational technology to friends and family and it's always good to get practical tips on how to explain our much-loved terminology in plain English.

Christopher D Sessums
offers a wonderfully simple definition of web 2.0 that I'd just like to pass on (see A simple definition: Web 2.0). Make further suggestions on his blog.

Web 1.0 = me
Web 2.0 = me + you

Web 1.0 = read
Web 2.0 = read + write

Web 1.0 = connecting ideas
Web 2.0 = connecting ideas + connecting people

Web 1.0 = search
Web 2.0 = recommendations of friends/others

Web 1.0 = find
Web 2.0 = share

Web 1.0 = techies rule
Web 2.0 = everybody rules
