Joyce’s reflection on Session3
As a group, we firstly decide the theme of this activity. We all agree on the favorite dishes because food is also one kind of motivation foe us to complete this activities.As we all know , Taiwan is very famous about its street food and we all never been there so we chose the theme: How to doTaiwan Street Food by ourselves. We need to show how effective and efficient Web 2.0 dose in our activities. there is no doubt that it really bring much convenience to our daily life.
First, we used search engines(the most famous is Google, and in mainland, there is Baidu) to search what is the most famous Taiwan street dishes. We found so long a list of the name and the we move to Step 2. We used a website called ‘Open Rice’, which is combined and collected the comments of customers used to been the restaurant.It is totally show one of the characteristics of web2.0: Rich User Experience - dynamic content & responsive to user input[1]. And we found a nice restaurant called ’A yuan is coming’ ,the most popular of which is stewed minced pork with rice,so we decided to go there to have a try. Absolutely, here is Step 3: Google map is a good app for us to find the way from our home to the restaurants. It provides you not only the routine but also the direction, the estimated time of arrival and so on. We all went there, had a look, and try the best two dishes(Amazing!) ,took a lot of photos and then we went back to do Step 4, learn how to the dishes online. there is so much good learning video on Youtube to teach you how to cook famous dishes around the world, and we easily find one. It is produced by an individual, where we can clearly see the characteristics of Web 2.0, compared to web 1.0.
When we finished our activities, we all find the obvious feature of web 2.0, it allows individuals to one part, or participants of the network. Everyone is in the net of the online world and is going to be one part of it piecemeal. At the end, we tried to use glogster to made an exquisite poster as above show.

Wang Zhen’s Reflection
After I read the articles about web2.0,I think, the traditional education format is more like the web 1.0(teachers provide knowledge in class and students download the knowledge ).People sit together but they are isolated and passive information recivers. While the format of education that we pursue is more like the web2.0(teacher provide Instructions and directions ,and students are encouraged to participate in various groups of knowledge building and knowledge sharing. ).People may not be in a same place,but they still can share their knowledge,experience and get comments ,feedbacks. They are interactional and autonomous information providers and recivers.
According the article:Web 2.0 technologies for learning:The current landscape – opportunities, challenges and tensions ,we have known lots of web2.0 technologies could apply to teaching and learning.So our group selected and used several web2.0 technologies to organize and share our experience about finding Taiwanese snacks.Firstly,we used google to search for some introduce about Taiwanese snacks.And then we use OpenRice to choose a Taiwan restaurant.After that we used google map to find the restaurant and enjoyed Braise Pork Rice and Taiwanese Fried Chicken,which are famous Taiwanese snacks we get known from google before.We were all curious about how to cook them,so we used Youtube to find the cooking teaching video.Finally,we upload our pictures,experience and comments in our Facebook.Besides,we also edited an e-poster to show the process of this activity.Visitors can find the restaurant and learn how to cook these snacks by following our guidance in this poster.
I think It is attractive for young people to share their experience and get attention from others.Therefore, using web2.0 technologies could make the teaching and learning more autonomous and practical.

Zhao Meng’s reflection
Our group’s activity of session 3 is based on the technology of Web 2.0, through organizing this activity and implementing some tools of Web 2.0, I can probe some affordance of Web 2.0 and make connection to education.
As the Glogster presents, we used tools such as Openrice, google map, Youtube, Facebook and Weebly in our activity. To better analyze their affordance, I put them into different categories. I think that the app of Openrice belongs to recommender system, google map the data/web mashup, Youtube the media sharing, Weebly the blogging and Facebook the social networking. This is the cataloging that I did according to the Table 1 given from the Web 2.0 technologies for learning:The current landscape – opportunities, challenges and tensions(2008).
In the Table 2 of this article, the author catalogue the Web 2.0 tools in the view of education, it demonstrates that social networking tools can be used to build educational-oriented group which has been achieved in our 6023 class for student-teacher discussion and feedback reception. Just the same as when we share our activity with friends on Facebook, they can ask us for the location of the restaurant before they go and praise or complaint on it after they dinning there.
Youtube, cataloged as media sharing, can influence a lot on education since its popularity around the world, although there are many other online curriculum websites such as TED and MOOC. Youtube still finds its own way to create Youtube for School websites. In our activity, we search for the curriculum of cooking stewed minced pork with rice on Youtube, but this is a kind of entertainment-oriented. So to make learners more focused and the curriculum more professional, the Youtube for School designs its video curriculum without related video recommendation and comment part, which is different from the common version of Youtube. I think it works in the education environment, schools can authorize students only the access to the Youtube for School websites in their curriculum, it can reduce the risk of distraction by other videos online.
Our group used the easy and life-related Web 2.0 tools in our activity, but for the educational purpose, more advanced and professional Web 2.0 technology are needed in daily learning. And the level would be increased to further education. For example, the junior school students cannot take a good use of iTunes U. It means that the educational affordance of Web 2.0 technology can well functions only by applying counterpart tools.

Zheng Shudan’s reflection
Web 2.0 has been tightly connected to our daily lives, it is a revolution to make a reference to a group of technologies which have become deeply associated with the term: blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS feeds etc, which facilitate a more socially connected web where everyone is able to add to and edit the information space.(Anderson, P, 2007). To get a better understanding of the affordance of Web 2.0, our group organized an activity about finding the Taiwan food in Hong Kong. First we used the app Openrice to search for the popular Taiwan food restaurants rated by netizens, according to the comments posted below the picture of food, we picked out one restaurant and located the address using google map. Also we used Facebook to share the dishes with others online and searched for how to cook them from Youtube afterwards. Finally we presented our group work on Glogster and shared it on our Weebly blog.
Our group activity benefited the affordance of web 2.0 in a daily-based way, also it contributes a lot in process of teaching and learning. According to the table 1 and table 2 presented by Charles Crook et al.(2008), the Facebook,which belongs to the social network category, could be used to set up education-oriented friendship group for opinion sharing, once the teacher or someone else in the group raises a discussion, everyone can see it and make response immediately. Web 2.0 provides teachers and students a space where they can make conversation and share information with each other, not only the textual data, but also sound as well as video can be exchanged(Franklin, T. and Van Harmelen, M., 2007),). For example, Youtube, as one category of media sharing(Charles Crook et. al, 2008), encourages internet users to participate in various communities of learning.
While web2.0 is a more vivid pattern of teaching and learning than web 1.0 since the elementary of collaboration is finely involved, it offers activities that people already wanted to do--to collaborate--as intersubjectivity is unique psychological characteristic of human beings(Charles Crook et. al, 2008). So maybe web 2.0 is just one of the necessities in the process of changing students into the knowledge creator rather than knowledge receiver, the change is a result of human choices. Since the needs of human beings will be changed by time, the web 2.0 may can’t always be the motivation of lifelong education.
