2. History of WWW History of the Internet
Web 1.0
Believe it or not, the Internet really began with the
Web 2.0 launching of a Soviet Union satellite, called Sputnik,
in 1957. The Cold War between the United States
Digital Learning
Styles and the Soviet Union was at its peak—and
Americans were shocked to discover that the Soviet
Advantages
Union had proven they had the ability to launch a

into space. President
The Top 35 of the

Productivity Advanced Research
Favorites Projects Agency (ARPA) in
Assignment 1958—a direct response to
the Sputnik launch.

3. History of WWW ARPA’s purpose was to give the United States a
technological edge over other countries and one
Web 1.0
important part of that mission was computer
Web 2.0 science. During the 1950s, computers were
enormous devices that filled entire rooms. Many

4. History of WWW Computers were not networked together, but ARPA
aimed to change that by enlisting the help of the
Web 1.0
company Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN). The
Web 2.0 computer network BBN created had four computers
running on four different operating systems. The
Digital Learning
Styles network was called ARPANET.
Advantages
Without ARPANET, the Internet wouldn’t look or
Disadvantages behave the way it does today—in fact, it might not
even exist. Although other groups were working on
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0 ways to network computers, ARPANET established
Productivity the protocols (rules and guidelines) used on the
Favorites Internet today. Without the definitive ‘push’ of
Assignment ARPANET, it may have taken many more years before
anyone tried to join networks from different
Credits geographical regions together into a larger system.

5. History of WWW In 1973, engineers began to look for ways to connect
ARPANET to a radio network which would connect
Web 1.0
computers through radio transmitters and
Web 2.0 receivers—sending data by radio waves rather than
telephone lines. The engineers were made those
Digital Learning
Styles connections successfully in 1976.
Advantages
Later, in 1977, technicians joined the Satellite
Disadvantages Network to the other two networks—calling their
connection inter-networking, or the Internet for
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0 short. In 1990, Tim Berners-Lee developed a system
Productivity designed to simplify navigation on the Internet. This

In a short period of time though, people mistakenly
The Top 35 of the

7. History of WWW The early Internet users were the government and
military employees, graduate students, and
Web 1.0 computer scientists. Using the World Wide Web, the
Web 2.0
Internet became more accessible as colleges and
universities began to connect and by 1994, Internet

8. History of WWW Web 1.0
The original World Wide Web is sometimes
Web 1.0
considered to be Web 1.0. Though hard to define
Web 2.0 Web 1.0, the best way is compare it to Web 2.0
instead. Web 1.0 is everything that Web 2.0 isn’t. The
Digital Learning
Styles philosophy of Web 1.0 is:
Advantages
1) Web 1.0 sites are static—they contain
Disadvantages information which may be useful, but never changes
2) Web 1.0 sites aren’t interactive – visitors can visit
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0 these sites (like a profile page), but they can’t impact
Productivity or contribute to the sites
Favorites 3) Web 1.0 applications are proprietary—companies
Assignment may develop software applications that users can
download, but they can’t use the application online
Credits or change it

9. History of WWW There is no clear timeline which occurs between Web
1.0 and the development of Web 2.0—actually they
Web 1.0 both presently exist together for different purposes.
Web 2.0
There are many instances when Web 1.0 is the most
effective method to present information or to
Digital Learning
Styles
complete a task and there are specific times when a
webmaster would not want a website to be
Advantages interactive or be vulnerable to user changes.
Disadvantages
Some of these types of websites include:
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0
Productivity
1) sites built purely for a public presence online or
Favorites commerce
Assignment
2) sites which display specific, accurate information
written by experts and are used for scholarly
Credits research

10. History of WWW Web 2.0
Tim O'Reilly, sometimes seen as the
Web 1.0
originator of the term Web 2.0, referred
Web 2.0 to people making connections with other people
through the Web at the first Web. 2.0 Conference as
Digital Learning
Styles it related to e-commerce. Web 2.0 began as a
collection of ‘approaches’ which were consideredthe
Advantages
most ‘effective’ on the World Wide Web. ‘Effective’
Disadvantages meaning the Web would provide users with an
engaging experience so they would want to return to
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0 the same sites in the future. Social networking sites
Productivity (Facebook), blogs (LiveJournal), micro-blogs (Twitter),
Favorites and sites which allow users to contribute and share
Assignment content (wikis and YouTube) are all examples of Web
sites which provide an engaging
Credits experience.

11. History of WWW The philosophy of Web 2.0 providing an effective
experience on the World Wide Web (WWW) for
Web 1.0 users then follows these basic ideas:
Web 2.0
1) Web 2.0 sites are dynamic—they contain
Digital Learning
Styles
information which may be useful, but is frequently
updated (e.g., blogs)
Advantages 2) Web 2.0 sites are interactive – visitors can visit
Disadvantages
these sites and make changes and contributions
(e.g., wikis)
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0
3) Web 2.0 applications are not proprietary—a Web
Productivity
2.0 application is an open source program, which
Favorites means the source code for the program may be
Assignment
freely available allowing users to make modifications
or build new apps based on the program; a good
Credits example for this is the browser, FireFox, from Mozilla

12. History of WWW There are some instances when the concepts of the
static Web 1.0 is blended with the dynamic Web 2.0.
Web 1.0 Once such example is the e-commerce company,
Web 2.0
Amazon. While Amazon controls the product pages
they list for purchase in a Web 1.0 style, there is also
Digital Learning
Styles
a customer interactive side which allows for input,
comments, and information in the form of product
Advantages reviews—clearly a blend of the static and dynamic
Disadvantages
environment found on the WWW.
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0
There are times when the information created by
Productivity
users should be used with caution. Once such
Favorites example is relying too heavily on the information
Assignment
which comes from a source like Wikipedia. While an
encyclopedia uses experts, who are considered to be
Credits unbiased, there are no such guarantees with wikis.

13. History of WWW Where are we today in terms of the World Wide
Web? Many experts consider that we are still
Web 1.0 evolving as we continue to blend Web 1.0 and Web

14. History of WWW Digital Learning Styles
Web 1.0
With the inclusion of technology across all fields of
Web 2.0 learning, the way learners store and retrieve
information has drastically changed. Multimedia,
Digital Learning
Styles interactive learning, and collaborative experiences
are some of the new methods for successfully
Advantages
engaging both conventional and unconventional
Disadvantages learning. Learners are approaching education with
many and varied skill sets—some are visual learners,
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0 while others retain information best in verbal
Productivity chunks, and still others prefer hands-on or reflective
Favorites learning experiences. In the case of technology
Assignment based learning, the motivations, interests, and ways
to retain information are different than the older,
Credits more conventional formats.

15. History of WWW Howard Gardner (1983) proposed a new view of
looking at the concept of intelligence with his Theory
Web 1.0 of Multiple Intelligences. The seven intelligences
Web 2.0
which Gardner defines are: logical, mathematical,
linguistic, spatial, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, and
Digital Learning
Styles
personal. These intelligences are used to refer to a
learner’s aptitude. Gardner defines intelligence as
Advantages “the capacity to solve problems or to fashion
Disadvantages
products that are valued in one or more cultural
settings” (Gardner & Hatch, 1989). On the basis of
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0
his theory, Gardner suggests that none of the
Productivity
learning theories function in isolation. For students
Favorites to learn more effectively, all of these intelligences
Assignment
need to be challenged through instructor-created
exploration materials.
Credits

16. History of WWW In addition to the theories of multiple intelligences
and conventional learning styles (typically auditory

17. History of WWW Another style of learning has been proposed by
Dieterle, Dede, and Schier (2006) which would be a
Web 1.0 media based or mediated learning style. Constant
Web 2.0
connectivity, dynamic content and the collaborative
nature of emerging technology has made it essential
Digital Learning
Styles
to redefine the older concepts of learning. This
‘digital intelligence’ is being driven by learning
Advantages through collaboration and placing control in the
Disadvantages
learner’s hands. “We derive our competence from
forming connections…the learner’s challenge is to
The Top 35 of the
Best Web 2.0

Productivity
(George Siemens, 2004) Learning takes place through
Favorites connections, constructions, and communications in
Assignment
social connections and networks. Digital learning is
about connections, not isolated learning.

18. History of WWW The Internet is no longer just a medium, but has
evolved into a platform to create communities for
Web 1.0 the sharing and exchanging of ideas. This community

network has given a twist to learners—this

20. History of WWW Learners are changing and adapting to ever
changing technology. Therefore, it is difficult to

predict that any particular style or type of
Web 2.0 intelligence will be used successfully in a particular
case. Blended learning may be the most effective
