Your Web 2.0 journey

Please click on each image to view the assignment for each technology you will be using

Dear all,

in this blog post I start commenting your web 2.0 journey, your first excursion brought you to the Video Sharing Tool "You Tube".
Throughout the program you will learn how to use other technologies and reflect on their potential use in different context.
For each of the assignment you will find a blog entry, where you describe your own experience, ask questions or bring in your ideas and thoughts.
So far so good, now you will need to create your own blog and you will find the instructions in the post "My first blog". I recommend to this assignment first right after the Google account creation because some of the other assignments will need either the blog or you will need a Google account to access some of the other tools.
In this post I will update the journey and as often as you feel commenting about your own journey please feel free to reply to this post.
