Abstract
With Web 2.0, amateurs and hobbyists participate in the production of media, collaborate with interested parties, and tap into distributed expertise and knowledge. This model of participation, collaboration, and distribution holds true for literacy 2.0, in which people appropriate digital applications, networks, and services and develop ways of reading, writing, viewing, listening, and recording that embody the 2.0 ethos. Literacy 2.0 challenges how schools traditionally have valued a single author working alone to create a unique text. Web 2.0 has developed a range of free participatory, collaborative, and distributed resources that educators can use in their classrooms, such as blogs and wikis and sites like fanfiction.org.
