The shift from mainframe to personal computer brought about the need to rethink computer literacy courses to introduce basic skills and familiarity using desktop productivity applications. While these skills remain important, the recent shift of applications and data from the desktop to the Web has brought about another stage in the evolution of computer literacy education to the extent that today\u2019s students not only need to be \u201ccomputer literate\u201d but also \u201cWeb literate\u201d or \u201cWeb 2.0 literate.\u201d Computer literacy courses retained the old concepts, but had less time to cover them because of the need to introduce new concepts. This paper examines approaches to teaching first year college introductory technology courses and suggests practical exercises and skills required for today\u2019s students to be Web 2.0 literate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year Larry Press \u00a0of California State University and I wrote a paper entitled &#8220;From Computer Literacy to Web 2.0 Literacy:\u00a0 Teaching and Learning Information Technology Concepts Using Web 2.0 Tools&#8221;.\u00a0 I presented it at ISECON 2009 and it is now published in the Information Systems Education Journal.
