Olha só, fresquinho, um artigo sobre o uso de Web 2.0 na educação!

Que tal adotar o termo "Living Web" ao invés de Web 2.0, para se referir aos aplicativos na rede que ganham vida a partir da colaboração dos internautas?
A sugestão apareceu em matéria do Newsweek, de acordo com o blog do Center for Citizen Midia, veja abaixo:
The “Living Web”
By Olivia Ma on News
In this week’s cover story, Newsweek suggests replacing the term “Web 2.0″ with the more descriptive phrase “Living Web,” which refers to the dynamic quality of web content, the organic patterns of growth and expansion online, and the social interactions occurring everywhere.
Not only is the name “Living Web” more logical, but it makes sense to the vast majority of people who don’t know what “Web 2.0″ means. This piece provides a solid overview for those trying to understand what is happening on the web by defining concepts like “user-generated content” and “tagging” and explaining what sites like deli.cio.us and Flickr actually do.
I think the most important take-away from the article comes from a quote by Tim O’Reilly, who Newsweek describes as an “early promoter of the Web 2.0 idea,” in which O’Reilly says that “the central idea is harnessing collective intelligence.” (The established newsweekly boldly nods to, but does not dwell on those who “believe that an army of bloggers can provide an alternative to even the smartest journalists.”)
Ultimately, what writers Steven Levy and Brad Stone driving home is the fact that the future of the web, and virtually all of the economic and social opportunities it affords, is undeniably in “our” hands.
É isso aí, estamos chegando lá...
A cada dia aparece mais um software que utiliza o potencial de reunião de informações de indivíduos para interesse coletivo.
Este programinha desenvolvido em uma universidade suiça permite a visualização de um mapa no celular, e a anotação de pontos no mapa, com referências de seu interesse (tipo "a melhor sorveteria da região" ou "senhores policiais, também fui vítima nesta esquina").
O mapa é compartilhado por inúmeros outros interessados, que também colocam seus apontamentos, tornando-se um guia no celular com todas as dicas necessárias para circular em uma cidade.
Tudo isso junta georeferenciamento de informações, indexação, comunicação móvel e talvez finalmente materialize uma experiência concreta mais rotineira de inteligência coletiva!

"STAMPS is a little program. It can run on your Mobile phone. Using this program you can see a map of the place where you are, visualised on the screen of your mobile. There, you can write a kind of SMS and attach it to the map so that other friends can see your message appearing on their map. You can write for instance: "this is my preferite pizzeria!", to offer advice to your buddies. All the messages left in the system say something about the city where you live: what are the sport locations, the place to eat, the meeting spots. After a while, we want to use all these information to help the users to navigate the city. You can ask the system, for instance: "where is a pizzeria near by?", and the system will search for other people's messages which refer to the term pizzeria to give you an advice."
STAMPS or System for TAgging Messages, Post-Inferential Semantics is an academic research project of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The goal of this study is to develop modeling schemas that enable to integrate spatial information, as embedded in maps, with the textual information produced through computer-mediated communication.
