After watching the video and reading Daniela's and Paola's posts, I think the difference between the two modes is clear enough.
I started using the web very late ( 6-7 years ago) so I directly experienced the web 2.0 tools, even though I was not able (and still I am not) to use them.
Now, something is evident: our students are completely familiar with these tools and we can only capture their interest if we can cope with the new communicative ways.
Should we start trying with the new tools? should we create a blog to be used with our students to post materials and/or exchange ideas? would it work? or should we wait to be a bit more expert?
Yours,
Adela

WEB1.00 vs. WEB2.00
Technology is like a chain…
that melts the blood inside the veins, you know…
The impact of technology, not the technology itself. Schools, teachers and pupils using technology in this way - in multimedia, whiteboards, laptops - see great benefits.
Computers will never replace pen and paper; both are inherent, and complementary, within the classroom. But technology has become ubiquitous in 21st-century education and among 21st-century pupils.
ICT is now everywhere in our daily lives, like electricity or gas piped into our homes. It surrounds us, and we use it every day. ICT exists in everything we do: shopping, using home entertainment systems, buying train/air tickets. Whether you're a secretary, executive or teacher, the ability to use technology is a basic requirement. Half the time we don't realise we're using technology: even today's telephones are turning into ICT devices with the arrival of internet telephony.
Nowadays the second generation of web-based communities and hosted services (such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, poadcasts, chats) aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing between users.
A “chat” is an online tool enabling real-time communication. Participants can sit in front of their computers and “chat.” They may be in the same room, building or in different locations anywhere around the globe. People type messages to each other using their keyboards, and the messages appear immediately on the screens of all the participants.
A “chatroom” is an electronic space, typically a website. A chatroom can be accessed with a computer connected to the Internet. Chatrooms are usually focused on specific topics.
The “moderator” is the person who is responsible for the chat.
A “nickname” replaces the proper name of a person and it is used while chatting. For safety reasons it is strongly recommended that you use a nickname -- not your real name – whenever you participate in an online chat.
Is it possible to turn a desert into an oasis?

Dear Mave,
your comments are very interesting and stimulating! Why don't you post them as a 'post' so that anyone can read them directly on the main page?
