Tech Class Homework

Hi Tech Class,

I just checked everyone's blog and there are not any new posts.  I just checked the wiki pages and no one has been doing anything with those.  You still have the rest of this week so hope to see something by the end of the week.  Hope you all had a good holiday.

Education Blogs


Below is some of the key terminology for our lesson on blogs and wikis.  Also please read the articles on Web 2.0, Wiki, and RSS. 

web 2.0 - a group of technologies which have become deeply associated with the term: blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS feeds etc., which facilitate a more socially connected Web where everyone is able to add to and edit the information space.  Below is a long but very informative article.  (Just read section 2 and section 5 that shortens it up quite a bit.)

wiki – a web page that can be viewed and modified by anyone with a web browser and internet access.  (caution: this means that anyone can modify the web content.)  See the website below for an article on wikis.

RSS (Rich Site Summary) – a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.   Below is a website that explains RSS in one page.
