He also has attempted a characterization of Web 2.0 in the ICT4LT website in Module 1.5. Section 2, headed "What is Web 2.0?" at: http://www.ict4lt.org/en/en_mod1-5.htm. In some attempt to graft Web 2.0 collaboration onto these distinctly Web 1.0 efforts, Graham also requests feedback via an ICT4LT blog at: http://ictforlanguageteachers.blogspot.com/

• See where I am trying to anchor a definition here: http://www.vancestevens.com/casting.htm#web20(mirrored at http://www.prof2000.pt/users/vstevens/casting.htm#web20. There may be overlap on that list and this one, but an examination here and there could be useful.
