What interests me about Web 2.0?

Web 2.0: "web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web..." (Wikipedia).
The sources for news, information, and advertising have shifted away from traditional news media to the vast array of options available on the web. Individuals who are unable to access and nimbly navigate the web are increasingly being left out of the information cycle. In order to prepare our students to most effectively gather and synthesize necessary and appropriate information, we ourselves must possess and demonstrate that ability.
