The beauty of Web 2.0 tools and the challenges faced
Web 2.0 tools as we are discovering and learning during these 5 days, have been designed to really facilitate communication, information sharing and collaboration as they are user-centered and friendly to use.
However, as a video showed, two hands are needed for Development using Web 2.0, one hand being the web 2.0 tools themselves, and the other, being the people/community themselves. This is one most important key factor for successful development using web 2.0, and thus sensitization and massive training should be given, on how web 2.0 really benefits the community and encourages collaboration.
Technological innovation is taking place at a breath-taking pace. Simple, open source internet-based applications and services designed to enhance on-line collaboration are now available to the wider public at little or no cost at all. These new online technologies known as Web 2.0 and ‘social media’ enable people to collaborate to create, share and publish information.
Savana Signatures a non-governmental organization in Tamale promoting ICT4D has asked me to represent the organization and to acquire knowledge in the use of web 2.0 learning Opportunity.
Today is my second day and have been introduced to web 2.0 applications. The Learning Opportunity will also cover advanced online searching, getting information served via alerts and RSS, collaborating remotely using wikis and Google Docs, using VoIP, online mapping and social media. This I will learn before the end of the week.
