web1.0 vs we2.0

Web 1.0 v. Web 2.0

1.0 is Static & HTML;
2.0 is Dynamic & PHP, ASP, Java, etc (server side programing)
1.0 is from writer to reader, like a book
2.0 is collaborative, there are comments, profiles, multiple writers and votes, mass participation, social
1.0 is pages, lists and tables
2.0 is pages and apps, there are queries submitted by users, search, exportation, etc.
1.0 is taxonomy
2.0 is more about user tags, categories added by users, search, relevance, keywords

web2.0 tools bring amazing potential in TL:
-> connect within school (peers/teachers)
-> beyond school (internet - organisation across town or the other side of the world)

... as long as they have the internet and devices.
