I would like to thank Blanche Woolls for her editing expertise and
guidance in completing this project. I would also like to thank my
husband, Vern, for his patience and support while I worked late hours
completing this manuscript. Without his unflinching belief in me,
I could not have finished this project on time. I would also like to thank
my children, Ryan and Kristen, who are my biggest cheerleaders.

Introduction
My favorite aunt has more Facebook friends than I do. She creates
photo streams and links to videos and even sends me e-cards on special
occasions. Although she is 80-something, she connects to social networks
from her smart phone and computer. She has joined the technology
revolution (Braulein, 2008).
Web 2.0 has brought about this technology revolution. What is Web
2.0? According to Will Richardson (2010), Web 2.0 is the read-write
web; it is a community of users who can collaboratively post text,
images, and other multimedia, while all of the connected world can
respond online to these postings.
Introduction xi
the country are spending record amounts on 21st-century tools such
as interactive white boards, ceiling-mounted projectors, and student
response systems, but are they being used? Unfortunately, research
indicates that technology integration has not reached its full potential and
that teachers lament about lack of time, lack of technology training,
lack of administrative support for technology integration efforts, lack
of opportunity to practice skills, and other barriers to use (Creighton,
2010). In some schools, teachers are still not integrating technology
into instruction, and are not using Web 2.0 tools at all.
This chapter will take a fresh look at Web 2.0, the read-write web, from
the perspective of current authorities in the educational field. It will
include examples of wikis, blogs, digital storytelling, document sharing,
podcasts, vodcasts, instant messaging, photo streams, resource sharing,
social mapping, and more. Subtopics include:
Although this chapter will begin with a definition of the World Wide
Web that you may not need, teachers with whom you work may need
some additional explanation. So what do you know about Web 2.0?
n Are you familiar with the difference between Web 2.0 and its
predecessor?
The World Wide Web organization of the Internet has been attributed
to Sir Tim Berners-Lee of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C),
who proposed a hypertext system in 1989 that formed the basis for the
World Wide Web today. WWW users could browse for a website or go
directly to it and then point and click to navigate through the content on
the site. The technology of hyperlinking allowed web browsers to find
multiple interrelated web sites containing similar content. Over time,
two different approaches to searching developed: ad-free Netscape and
ad-sponsored Google.

2 The Secret Reasons Why Teachers Are Not Using Web 2.0 Tools
Netscape
As published on their website at http://www.mozilla.org/about/history.
html, Netscape was the first browser to become Open Source, or to
provide programming code freely to the public. NetscapeÊs open source
platform was named Mozilla, and was founded as a public service to
make searching the web safer. Mozilla avoids the ads used in Google
and provides a means of secure searching as well as additional safety
plug-ins. Ad-free searching means that teachers and students will not
be distracted by sometimes inappropriate advertising while trying to
perform a search. Mozilla later morphed to Firefox, with the same
public service philosophy and ad-free safety features. Read more about
the Mozilla/Firefox protected browsing features at: www.mozilla.com/
en-US/firefox/security/#philosophy.
Google Chrome
Google Chrome is a web browser created by Google Labs. Google
Labs began with the search engine for which it is named·Google·
designed by two Stanford graduate students, Larry Page and Sergey
Brin. They collaborated on the design of a search engine they dubbed
„BackRub,‰ which initially ran on the Stanford servers. In 1997, they
changed its name to Google, a play on the word „googol,‰ and referring
to the seemingly infinite amount of information on the World Wide
Web. Their mission was to organize this information for a method of
fast and efficient searching and retrieving of information. Google went
public in 1998 and introduced their AdWords technology in 2000. Since
that time, Google has continued to develop new and innovative
strategies to capitalize on the interests of the public, adding image
searching and APIs (application programming interfaces), which
ensure that users see the same results when viewing web pages, with
many new APIs constantly in development in Google Labs. Google
also sought to go Open Source, with the introduction of it own web
browser, Google Chrome.
Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer comes already installed as the default Internet
browser on all Microsoft operating systems. Internet Explorer offers
many customizable features and security options and works well with
multiple search engines. Recently, the Microsoft Corporation, developer
of the Internet Explorer browser, introduced its new search engine,
Bing. A replacement for its less-successful Windows Live Search and
MSN search, Bing sought to recover a share of the Google market, as
Safari
Although not cornering a larger portion of the web searching market,
AppleÊs Safari web browser was once designed exclusively for Mac
users, but now works with Windows operating systems, as well. Fast
and efficient, this browser has many features that compare favorably
with Google Chrome, but is not easily customizable and lacks the
phishing protection and extra security features of Mozilla/Firefox. It
does, however, perform well because it is sleek and less memory-
intensive than its more popular competitors. Safari comes with a built-in
default search engine.

multimedia, and links. Once created, sites might remain unchanged
indefinitely or were updated in accordance with the ownerÊs wishes.
This static system grew for approximately 15 years, until a major
innovation brought about the advent of what is now called Web 2.0.
