Read and Write with Web 2.0

The world wide web is used today for many different reasons. The old version of the web was a read only type of Internet that allowed people to look up information but not to to interact with it. The current Web 2.0 allows people to not only read information but also to write information. One of the websites I often use is Facebook because I can reach different groups of people, including coworkers, family, friends, and now graduate school colleagues. I really like that posts can be made both public or private. You can create events and only the people included in the event can send messages to the group . In our school system, the Facebook website is not allowed (most likely because of the photos that people post on their profile page). I wish they could create a Facebook for classrooms that is appropriate for students and would allow them to share information or work together on projects.
