Abstract
Web 2.0 technologies have rapidly become an integral part of the society and influence of Web 2.0 can be felt in all aspects of one’s life - work, school, and play. New Web 2.0 tools, used to create, collaborate, and share, appear daily. But little is known about how students use and acquire knowledge about Web 2.0 technologies. The purpose of this study is to examine undergraduate students’ awareness and use of Web 2.0 technologies, and how they acquire knowledge about Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom.
