=Welcome to 2.0 Tools for CHS=

What is Web 2.0?
== By Web 2.0 we refer to web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing. Users can generate content in a virtual community as against being consumers of content that was created for them. Examples are blogs, wikis, social-networking sites ... Image by Wordle
