Potential educational applications of Web 2.0

Abstract
This paper explores potential educational applications of Web 2.0
technologies, and cuts through some of the hype generated around
these technologies, as well as around characteristics of Generation Y,
and their implications for learning and teaching. Web 2.0 technologies
both reflect and drive a blurring of the lines between students and
university educators, which has a potentially profound impact on
learning and teaching in higher education. This paper argues that Web
2.0 technologies, and Social Network Sites in particular, offer exciting
opportunities but that educational applications of these technologies
should be based on sound pedagogical principles and driven by
empirical research and careful evaluation, if they are to effect
meaningful learning experiences for all students.
