Web 2.0 has had a positive impact on education. It has created a richer internet environment. With all three components (RIA, SOA, and social web) of Web. 2.0 work together the internet creates great possibilities and opportunities for students.
The social network especially has many beneficial opportunities such as; podcast, blogging, and wiki's. Students can interact and gather feed back from other peers and teachers.
As with any other form of technology there will always be some challenges to overcome in the classroom. Students are easily distracted by all the bells and whistles the internet has to offer. they also trust site information and are mislead easily. Restrictions, expectations and limitations will need to be put into place before use.
Regardless of the challenges that come with Web 2.0 it has many new and exciting services. With proper limits and instruction Web 2.0 will be extremely beneficial to student learning and development.
