Just type your website URL in AppCode and submit to the AppStore. You will not have any problems with submitting this app to the AppStore if your website supports mobile view. You use a mobile site as basis and the Xcode script wraps your URL into a real app! Easy to customize icons and images etc. The application is ready to upload to the App.
This article or section is a stub. It does not yet contain enough information to be considered a real article. In other words, it is a short or insufficient piece of information and requires additions.
This page is
outdated
Update:
- I decided some time ago that I won't have time for updating. There are now dozens of websites that do better. However, once in a while I may add or remove entries
- Also see the links pointing to other resources, e.g. in Jan 2013 The Best of Teachers Web Tools was a good resource, but it is broken now. In particular 'web 2.0' websites seem to have a very short half life..

1 Definition
This is a list of web 2.0 applications. It should centralize software discussed in rich internet applications, virtual office, social software, e-learning 2.0, personal learning environments etc.
Basically I want this to be a toolkit for:
- teachers engaged in project-oriented learning, e.g. read the personal learning environments or C3MS project-based learning model (one of my proposals).
- learners who on their own initiative, want to have a personal learning environment / learning e-portfolio
Note: webtops (applications that integrate web widgets, i.e. some light-weight web 2.0 applications and information feeds are described apart). Also, this list may include on-line tools that are not really 'web 2.0', e.g. are not Ajax or not sharable. It also may contain useless junk. There is 'no' endorsement.
See also Creating websites with online services and using web widgets, i.e. some background information in the web technology tutorials series that explain how to create (a) web sites with online services and that (b) may include other services as widgets.

Free for one class (includes all tools and 1MB storage).
- LearnHub (formerly NuVVo). Quote: 'LearnHub is a network of communities, each one built around a specific subject (ex. Algebra, History, Software Development). Search to find a community that fits your interest. You will find many communities offer a wealth of freely available information, created by expert teachers, and other students. The line between teacher and student is blurred, because a student in one subject, can be a teacher in another. Communities are a mixture of lessons (pages, videos, presentations, concept games), tests, discussions, debates and fun activities. You will also find a marketplace, where you can find courses and tutor offerings from expert teachers.' (retrieved april 11 2008). Use of LearnHub is free, but teachers may sell courses. Therefore Learnhub may become an e-commerce platform for open microlearning.
- Mindpicnic, Courses at Mindpicnic are a simple method of organizing and sharing large amounts of study material. More precisely, a course is an ordered collection of cardboxes (flashcards), books, links and notes referring to one topic. So this is a personal learning environment in a way. Free (but there is a pro upgrade). Not too impressed by the examples I have seen.

Web 1.0 –
Web 1.0 refers to the first stage of the World Wide Web evolution. Earlier, there were only few content creators in Web 1.0 with the huge majority of users who are consumers of content. Personal web pages were common, consisting mainly of static pages hosted on ISP-run web servers, or on free web hosting services.

Personal web pages were common, consisting mainly of static pages hosted on ISP-run web servers, or on free web hosting services.
In Web 1.0 advertisements on websites while surfing the internet is banned. Also, in Web 1.0, Ofoto is an online digital photography website, on which user could store, share, view and print digital pictures. Web 1.0 is a content delivery network (CDN) which enables to showcase the piece of information on the websites. It can be used as personal websites. It costs to user as per pages viewed. It has directories which enable user to retrieve a particular piece of information.
- Four design essentials of a Web 1.0 site include:
- Static pages.
- Content is served from the server’s file-system.
- Pages built using Server Side Includes or Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
- Frames and Tables used to position and align the elements on a page.
Web 2.0 –
Web 2.0 refers to world wide website which highlight user-generated content, usability and interoperability for end users. Web 2.0 is also called participative social web. It does not refer to a modification to any technical specification, but to modify in the way Web pages are designed and used. The transition is beneficial but it does not seem that when the changes are occurred. An interaction and collaboration with each other is allowed by Web 2.0 in a social media dialogue as creator of user-generated content in a virtual community. Web 1.0 is enhanced version of Web 2.0.

The web browser technologies are used in Web 2.0 development and it includes AJAX and JavaScript frameworks. Recently, AJAX and JavaScript frameworks have become a very popular means of creating web 2.0 sites.
- Five major features of Web 2.0 –
- Free sorting of information, permits users to retrieve and classify the information collectively.
- Dynamic content that is responsive to user input.
- Information flows between site owner and site users by means of evaluation & online commenting.
- Developed APIs to allow self-usage, such as by a software application.
- Web access leads to concern different, from the traditional Internet user base to a wider variety of users.
- Usage of Web 2.0 –
- Podcasting
- Blogging
- Tagging
- Curating with RSS
- Social bookmarking
- Social networking
- Social media
- Web content voting
The social Web contains a number of online tools and platforms where people share their perspectives, opinions, thoughts and experiences. Web 2.0 applications tend to interact much more with the end user. As such, the end user is not only a user of the application but also a participant by these 8 tools mentioned below:
Web 3.0 –
It refers the evolution of web utilization and interaction which includes altering the Web into a database. In enables the upgradation of back-end of the web, after a long time of focus on the front-end (Web 2.0 has mainly been about AJAX, tagging, and another front-end user-experience innovation). Web 3.0 is a term which is used to describe many evolutions of web usage and interaction among several paths. In this, data isn’t owned but instead shared, where services show different views for the same web / the same data.

Web 3.0 is a term which is used to describe many evolutions of web usage and interaction among several paths. In this, data isn’t owned but instead shared, where services show different views for the same web / the same data.
The Semantic Web (3.0) promises to establish “the world’s information” in more reasonable way than Google can ever attain with their existing engine schema. This is particularly true from the perspective of machine conception as opposed to human understanding. The Semantic Web necessitates the use of a declarative ontological language like OWL to produce domain-specific ontologies that machines can use to reason about information and make new conclusions, not simply match keywords.
- Below are 5 main features that can help us define Web 3.0:
- Semantic Web
The succeeding evolution of the Web involves the Semantic Web. The semantic web improves web technologies in demand to create, share and connect content through search and analysis based on the capability to comprehend the meaning of words, rather than on keywords or numbers. - Artificial Intelligence
Combining this capability with natural language processing, in Web 3.0, computers can distinguish information like humans in order to provide faster and more relevant results. They become more intelligent to fulfil the requirements of users. - 3D Graphics
The three-dimensional design is being used widely in websites and services in Web 3.0. Museum guides, computer games, ecommerce, geospatial contexts, etc. are all examples that use 3D graphics. - Connectivity
With Web 3.0, information is more connected thanks to semantic metadata. As a result, the user experience evolves to another level of connectivity that leverages all the available information. - Ubiquity
Content is accessible by multiple applications, every device is connected to the web, the services can be used everywhere.
Difference between Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 –
Web 1.0 | Web 2.0 | Web 3.0 |
---|---|---|
Mostly Read-Only | Wildly Read-Write | Portable and Personal |
Company Focus | Community Focus | Individual Focus |
Home Pages | Blogs / Wikis | Live-streams / Waves |

Web Forms | Web Applications | Smart Applications |
Directories | Tagging | User Behaviour |
Page Views | Cost Per Click | User Engagement |
