11. Summary We can use Web 2.0 applications to share information, create user-centered design, and engage in interaction and collaboration. These applications can create a virtual community for us and our students. We can use it for social networking, blogging, wikis, and video sharing. Web 2.0 becomes a transport mechanism for interactivity and participation. The two Web 2.0 applications we introduced should help you feel more comfortable with this technology and be ready to embrace its use. You have seen how Web 2.0 can be useful in teaching students as demonstrated with FlipSnack and by interacting with fellow educators as demonstrated with LinkedIn.
