The web 2.0 refers to the second generation of web development and design to facilitate communication, information sharing and user-centered design. It targets the non-IT people.

Web 2.0 tools: My appreciation
The Web 2.0 tools will help me to become a strong agent of change in my organisation, my country and the whole world.The myriads of tools will allow me to build, share, contribute and manage information in a moreeffective and efficient way. These tools will enable me to collaborate more effectively with different partners and stakeholders, for eg, through blog, I will be able to disseminate information to the world and will also be able to enrich the content by inviting other authors to contribute on my blog. I will also be able to evaluate the content by the comments posted by the viewers. Through RSS and filters, I will be able to keep track of updates on different sectors.Such practice will enable me to become more knowledgeable, up-to-date and cost-effective since I will save time and bandwidth!
After this training session, I will ensure that I will initiate and train my other colleagues so that the web 2.0 tools could be put to use more effectively and will achieve its purpose.
