Today is the sixth day for the class PMEY3104 Integration of Technology in Primary Science Teaching. Professor Dr.Rohaida Mohd. Saat introduce and discuss with us about:
Web 1.0
Web 2.0
Blog
Wiki
Social Networking
Media Sharing
WEB 1.0
I realize that, Web 1.0 (1991-2003) is a retronym that refers to the state of the World Wide Web, and any website design style used before the advent of the Web 2.0 phenomenon. Web 1.0 began with the release of the WWW to the public in 1991, and is the general term that has been created to describe the Web before the "bursting of the Dot-com bubble" in 2001. Moreover, since 2004, Web 2.0 has been the term used to describe the current web design, business models and branding methods of sites on the World Wide Web.It is easiest to formulate a sense of the term Web 1.0 when it is used in relation to the term Web 2.0, to compare the two and offer examples of each.

WEB 2.0
To be honest, I am not sure what is web 2.0. As I Google, the term Web 2.0 is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site gives its users the free choice to interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumer) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumer) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social-networking sites, blogs, wikis, video-sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.

Comparison between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 applications:
1. BLOG
Blog, is so familiar with me. A blog a blend of the term "web log" is a type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.Most blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (Art blog), photographs (photoblog), videos (Video blogging), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.
Teacher can manipulate Blog for father discussion and can be potential as tool for online forum regarding science learning.
Examples of Blog

2.0 WIKI
I also get to know more details about wiki. The name "Wiki" was chosen by Ward Cunningham - - the creator of the first Wiki. It isa shortened form of "wiki- wiki", the Hawaiian word for quick. A wiki is a web site that is generally editable by anyone with a computer, a web browser, and an internet connection. Wikis use a quick and easy syntax to allow users to apply formatting to text and create links between pages. This simple formatting syntax means that authors no longer need to learn the complexities of HTML to create content on the web. The main strength of a wiki is that it gives people the ability to work collaboratively on the same document. The only software you need is an Internet browser. Consequently, wikis are used for a variety of purposes. If you make a mistake, it's easy to revert back to an earlier version of the document.

I think it will be practical for teacher to use Wiki as a medium for discussion regarding science.

3.0 SOCIAL NETWORKING
What is Social Networking? I would say it's the way the 21st century communicates today. Want to know what it really means? Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision, if you will. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is most popular online. This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the internet is filled with millions of individuals who are looking to meet other people, to gather and share first-hand information and experiences about golfing, gardening, raising Schnauzers, developing friendships or professional alliances, finding employment, business-to-business marketing and even groups sharing information about the end of the Mayan calendar and the Great Shift to arrive December 21-2012. The topics and interests are as varied and rich as the story of our world.
Since most students may have social networking, teacher can post links that related to science studies so that they can read on more about science concepts. Teacher also can use social networking as a medium for students share their difficulties in learning science.

4.0 MEDIA-SHARING
Media sharing occurs through online social networks and digital communities with a comprehensive platform and diversified interfaces to aggregate, upload, compress, host and distribute images, text, applications, videos, audio, games and new media. It is the interactive process of sending via email, instant message, text message, posting or linking to media on a website or blog and other methods of sharing media to a targeted audience. As media is shared it takes on a variety of different contexts and meanings. The same video posted on YouTube and on Digg will generate different communication outcomes as the same video being sent to a family member and a college buddy. Social commentary usually accompanies shared media. Media sharing sustains social networks, web based communities and other digitally supported relationships. It is a communication process that requires the participation of both the sender and receiver. Media sharing platforms that are most popular are user-friendly, highly accessible and include mobile devices such as cell phones, PDAs, computers, and home game consoles such as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Teacher can download or upload videos or animation/pictures that related to science subject. This can be effective teaching aids that can boost student’s interest toward learning science.
Examples of Media-Sharing
www.4shared.com
www.youtube.com
www.digg.com
www.torrentz.com
www.media-sharing.com
www.photobucket.com
www.filehippo.com
www.fineden.com
www.jiwang.org
www.syok.org
www.oneclickmoviez.com
Today’s lesson made me realize that web 2.0 can be effective and practical tool to in teaching science too. For example, teacher can use Blog to post news, activities or links that related with science subject. This is not only interactive but would be fun as students can even learn science concepts even at home. It is hope that, teacher can manipulate web 2.0 specifically blog, media sharing, social network and wikis as a medium for learning science.
