Topic: The use of Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org ) as a tool for learning English. Keishla Marie De Jesús Rodríguez Valeria Gómez Gloró Professor: JesúsLópez Ingl0080 Section: N05
Introduction: With this project we will know which is the web 2.0. What is the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0? Also learn other tidbits about Web 2.0. We also discussed the Wikipedia page and how it helps with the learning of English class.
Introduction to Web 1.0: Web 1.0 was created from 1994 to 1997 of the most basic form there, with text only browsers such as ELISA, quite fast, then came the HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) web pages made more pleasing to the eye and the first graphical browsers such as IE, Netscape, etc. Web 1.0 is read only, the user can not interact with the content of the page (no comments, answers, quotes, etc). Being entirely limited to what the Webmaster goes to the website.
Introduction to Web 2.0: Web 2.0 was created in 2003 to the present. The term Web 2.0 (2004-present) is commonly associated with a social phenomenon, based on the interaction that is obtained from various web applications that facilitate information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design or DCU and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Examples of Web 2.0 web communities, web services, Web applications, network services, hosting services videos, wikis, blogs, mashups and folksonomies. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact with other users or change web site content, in contrast to non-interactive Web sites where users are limited to passive viewing of information provided to them.
Difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 The difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 is that Web 2.0 is more associated with the use. In addition, users become contributors. Publish the information and make changes to the data. This makes them more involved with the web.
Tool we choose: Wikipedia www.wikipedia.org
Introduction to Wikipedia: Wikipedia is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation (a nonprofit organization) to build a free, multilingual encyclopedia. More than 16 million Wikipedia articles have been written jointly by volunteers around the world, and virtually all can be edited by anyone who can access Wikipedia. Launched in January 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, is now the largest and most popular online reference work.
Why we chose? We chose this particular tool because it is one of the most used in the world, shows us the information we seek in several languages, one of these is English. When looking for information on any subject for our learning, it helps us to learn multiple languages. Besides it is well known in the world and everything you want it there at Wikipedia.org.

Wikipedia Information: *Why is it different from others? Is different from the others because there have been many encyclopedias or online, but none has enjoyed the success of Wikipedia. This online encyclopedia is unique in that all users can modify or fix. Not everyone can modify it as you have to be user and to be have to register it so that the information they publish is very true and safe.
