One size fits all? Making sense of Web 2.0

Jamie Davies & Mark Holah

Discuss this Workshop


A presentation and discussion of the use and abuse of Web 2.0 and how this technology can be utilised by psychology teachers. Is Web 2.0 just a buzzword or has there really been a revolution of the internet? We will take a light hearted and informative romp through the history of this technology, suggesting how it is being used and predict what will happen in the future. And like all discussions about the internet this will be out of date in a week.

During the lecture we gave an overview of what Web 2.0 sites are out there and focused on their ability to facilitate the learning experience for our students. Discussion about the usefulness of these different technologies followed with a heated debate about the use of social networking sites.
