DISCLAIMER: You know I’m not a techy. So why am I writing blogs on this topic? First, if I don’t know some of this Web terminology, maybe there are few of you who don’t either. Also, writing about topics I know nothing about helps me grow. I grow inaccurately, but I grow. Actually, I can still read and write and I know you will correct me if I’m wrong. I have your built-in accountability. This is another Berk’sNotes® version on the subject of Web terminology.
Berk’sNotes®
If you’re not familiar with Berk’sNotes® from my Thirteen Strategies… book and previous blogs, here’s a definition:
Berk’sNotes® = In the spirit of CliffsNotes®, it is an abbreviated version or brief synthesis of the most salient information or critical elements of a given topic. It’s designed for people like you who don’t have the time or inclination to do that synthesis yourself.
MOTTO: “I synthesize the stuff so you don’t have to.”
WHAT HAPPENED TO WEB 1.0?
What did I miss? I honestly don’t even remember Web 1.0. Maybe I experienced what is known as the “Rip van Winkle Effect” or amnesia, or I’m just out of touch. Did you hear about 1.0 before 2.0? It’s probably just me. Maybe I was living in a storm drain at the time.
Anyway, the goal of these blogs is to set me straight and clarify what these terms mean so we can think about how the various tech tools can be leveraged in the classroom and our lives. If you’re interested in all of the sources on this topic, just Google the numbers in the title and the sources cited in my blogs.
Right now, I think we’re into Web 2.0 world, or, maybe, 3.0. I’m not sure. Maybe this blog will get us both up to speed. You probably have an inkling about these numbers. I used to have inklings, but they cleared up with a topical medication. I’m going to try and level our keyboards and inklings on Web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0. Hang on. My next blog will examine Web 1.0.
