According to Claire Lutkewitte,"In order to be prepared for writing in the academy and beyond, college students must be able to both understand and produce texts using web 2.0 technologies",which I totally agree with. These technologies are essential for first year writing students, each offering them a distinct and innovative way of communicating.
1. Google--the world famous search engine, a powerhouse in cyberworld, allows you to browse and find preety much any information that you need without any ads.
2. Youtube--millions of mini-videos across the world, ranging from personal to educational videos, are posted in this website; it links us all instantaneously. There is a world of communication opportunities theough youtube.
3. Facebook--a socializing network website, where you personilize a webpage. There are millions of facebook users. Currently, it is the seventh most used website in the world. Wow!
4. MySpace --essentially, it has the same purpose and fuction as Facebook, mostly used, however, by a younger crowd.
To get a thorough description of these technologies, here the link to Claire Lutkewitte's website: http://www.bgsu.edu/cconline/Web2.0/Introduction.htm
