Web 2.0 Means Power, Collaboration, Autonomy, & Efficiency

Web 2.0: Power

Web 2.0 allows teachers and students to open their classes anywhere and anytime breaking down the wall of the conventional classroom. It means power to students who are contained in the classroom to learn something in the past. 

Web 2.0: Collaboration

Also, it means that building learning community with the peers and the teacher is necessary and important. Sharing knowledge and learning something with each other opens up a new opportunity to learn something. It is more clear and self-confirmed when you look at the construction of Wikipedia, which is purely constructed by people across the world. 

Web 2.0: Autonomy

Web 2.0 also asks students to act in an autonomous manner to learn something. Different from the traditional classroom where teachers control what students have to learn, study, and do, online learning outside the classroom allows students to control themselves so that without appropriate control of themselves, it is likely to be a mess to these learners.

Web 2.0: Efficiency

Web 2.0 also means efficiency in terms that learners and teachers could be more powerful and efficient to conduct their teaching and learning inside and outside the classroom, because they can use a lot of classroom management and learning productive tools saving time to do meaningful activities. Flipped learning and other classroom management tools are just part of them.
