=Digital Natives and Web 2.0=

Digital Natives
"A digital native is a person for whom digital technologies already existed when they were born, and hence has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3s. A digital immigrant is an individual who grew up without digital technology and adopted it later." (@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_native )


 * Web 2.0**

"Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services - such as social networking sites, wikis and folksonomies - which aim to facilitate creativity, collaboration and sharing between users" ([|Wikipedia])

If Web 1.0 was all about using the Web as a source of information, Web 2.0 is all about using tools to create our own new content. But how can Web 2.0 help language learners and teachers?
