Web 2.0 is a huge range of programs/software that help people to learn, it includes sound, video, photo, written and many more. This pays particular attention to Howard Gardner’s idea of multiple intelligences. The use of video in particular allows students to learn without realising that they are learning. Students are able to become more engaged in the activity and it creates healthy competition between classmates.
These games are known as ‘edutainment’ an effort to make learning fun.
