Web 2.0 Follow Up

As we discussed in class, your first assignment is a follow up to our quick overview of Web 2.0 and its many tools. If you would like to look over the information from class, click here for the presentation. We would also encourage to visit http://www.go2web20.net/, which offers an overview of the numerous tools that have been developed.


Web 2.0 Assignment: Due March 11th
Many of you are familiar with using Web 2.0 and social media, like Facebook and MySpace. Did you know that Web 2.0 is being used more and more by professionals and museums? Your assignment is to set up two new Web 2.0 tools that are new to you. Examples: set up a Google Alert for The Yager Museum; Go to www.blogger.com or www.wordpress.com – start your own blog; create a del.ici.ous account and join Andrew and Melissa’s networks; create a Linkedin account (Melissa will recommend you do this anyway); set up a Twitter account; create a Flickr account for your photos. You will be asked to share your Web 2.0 tools in class and share your experience using it.
