Mobile+Web+2.0

I didn't like the flow and "connectedness" of my chapter, so at the end of the week I trimmed-down the outline and pretty much rewrote the whole thing. Here's the final version - please feel free to add comments, if you are really bored over the break :)

//Review:Wow, this seems like a pretty cool outline to me!I think you really are about to cover a broad range of aspects of Mobile Web2.0. Your resources also look very good to me (teaching with twitter..how cool!).// //The only thing I could think of right now is to check also some academic resources. In a quick search at Academic Search complete : [|EBSCO]I already found a pretty cool article on "Location matters: leveraging knowledge building with **mobile** devices and **Web** **2.0** technology".// //[|article]. Maybe you want to look into that too.Other than that, Im looking forward to read more!:)// Sophie

Sophie - thanks for the feedback, and for including that link with your comments! I do certainly need to include academic resources, I have a bunch saved in My EBSCO but I haven't read through most of them yet :( Thanks for including that link with your comments!

Partial first draft, 7/27/11

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The first configuration of the Internet as we know it began in 1974 and the protocols that established the World Wide Web were in place by 1991. The pace of innovation on the Web has picked up in the decades since it’s inception: in 1991 the first web page was written; 1996 brought the first webmail service; 1997 introduced us to the phrase “weblog;” 1998 saw the launch of Google; 2001 was the beginning of Wikipedia; 2004 brought Digg and Facebook, 2005 was YouTube’s introduction, and 2006 saw Twitter making it’s way to browsers across the world (Chapman, 2009). <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">But what is Web 2.0? Tim O’Reilly summed it up rather nicely when he said “the ‘2.0-ness’ is not something new, but rather a fuller realization of the true potential of the web platform” (O’Reilly, 2005). Web 2.0 is full of new words like blogs and vlogs, permalinks, feeds, wikis, social networks, social bookmarks, mashups, memes, viral content, folksonomies, open-source software, and APIs. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The phrase “Web 2.0” was moving into the mainstream as early as 2004 but when Apple introduced their version of the smartphone, the iPhone, in 2007 Web 2.0 - and especially Mobile Web 2.0 - took off at a rapid pace (Chapman, 2009). A recent study by the Pew Research Center revealed 35% of adults in the United States own a smartphone, and 87% of those use their smartphone to access the web or email on a daily basis (Pew, 2011). The ability to access the World Wide Web without the limitation of a wired internet connection has had a profound impact on internet use; not just in the frequency or cumulative duration of use, but in the reasons why people turn to the web and how they are using it also. Many smartphones also have the capacity to locate the user through GPSr technology, a built-in camera or video camera, and touch-screens: each of these features quickly opened the door to a plethora of enhanced web 2.0 tools and services. A collection of popular, free or low-cost Web 2.0 applications for mobile devices are outlined on the following pages. //Love it! great intro!// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Crowdsourcing > <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">-> Quick access to answers without requiring the user browse the web (text messages are more often included in phone service plans and don’t incur expensive data usage); the organization has a standard of service expected from the Guides which offers *some* reassurance of credibility; service also utilizes “expert” guides who specialize in topics to help with more in-depth or specific questions. > <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">->

<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">(In the white paper “Web Squared: Web 2.0 Five Years On,” O’Reilly and Battelle state “the Web is the world – everything and everyone in the world casts an ‘information shadow,’ an aura of data which, when captured and processed intelligently, offers extraordinary opportunity and mind bending implications” (O’Reilly and Battelle, 2009). In Mobile Web 2.0 the passive information shadow includes not just the device from which the user is accessing the web and the history of their web use from that device, but potentially their geographic location and proximity to other users.)

//Nice compilation of mobile web2.0 tools here. So much stuff out there, impressive. Iam looking forward to read about your implication of these tools for learning. Looks like you found some good literature about that. Cant say anything else, other than that I think you are definitely on the right track and alreayd research a lot about these different tools. Looking forward to read more. Sophie//
