Web 1.0 -
Web 1.0 refers to the first stage of the World Wide Web evolution. Earlier, there were only few content creators in Web 1.0 with the huge majority of users who are consumers of content. Personal web pages were common, consisting mainly of static pages hosted on ISP-run web servers, or on free web hosting services.

In Web 1.0 advertisements on websites while surfing the internet is banned. Also, in Web 1.0, Ofoto is an online digital photography website, on which user could store, share, view and print digital pictures. Web 1.0 is a content delivery network (CDN) which enables to showcase the piece of information on the websites. It can be used as personal websites. It costs to user as per pages viewed. It has directories which enable user to retrieve a particular piece of information.

Four design essentials of a Web 1.0 site include:
1. Static pages.

2. Content is served from the server's file-system.

3. Pages built using Server Side Includes or Common Gateway Interface (CGI).

4. Frames and Tables used to position and align the elements on a page.

Web 2.0 -
Web 2.0 refers to world wide website which highlight user-generated content, usability and interoperability for end users. Web 2.0 is also called participative social web. It does not refer to a modification to any technical specification, but to modify in the way Web pages are designed and used. The transition is beneficial but it does not seem that when the changes are occurred. An interaction and collaboration with each other is allowed by Web 2.0 in a social media dialogue as creator of user-generated content in a virtual community. Web 1.0 is enhanced version of Web 2.0.

The web browser technologies are used in Web 2.0 development and it includes AJAX and JavaScript frameworks. Recently, AJAX and JavaScript frameworks have become a very popular means of creating web 2.0 sites.

Five major features of Web 2.0 -
1. Free sorting of information, permits users to retrieve and classify the information collectively.

2. Dynamic content that is responsive to user input.

3. Information flows between site owner and site users by means of evaluation & online commenting.

4. Developed APIs to allow self-usage, such as by a software application.

5. Web access leads to concern different, from the traditional Internet user base to a wider variety of users.

Usage of Web 2.0 -
The social Web contains a number of online tools and platforms where people share their perspectives, opinions, thoughts and experiences. Web 2.0 applications tend to interact much more with the end user. As such, the end user is not only a user of the application but also a participant by these 8 tools mentioned below:
1. Podcasting

2. Blogging

3. Tagging

4. Curating with RSS

5. Social bookmarking

6. Social networking

7. Social media

8. Web content voting

Web 3.0 -
It refers the evolution of web utilization and interaction which includes altering the Web into a database. In enables the upgradation of back-end of the web, after a long time of focus on the front-end (Web 2.0 has mainly been about AJAX, tagging, and another front-end user-experience innovation). Web 3.0 is a term which is used to describe many evolutions of web usage and interaction among several paths. In this, data isn't owned but instead shared, where services show different views for the same web / the same data.

The Semantic Web (3.0) promises to establish "the world's information" in more reasonable way than Google can ever attain with their existing engine schema. This is particularly true from the perspective of machine conception as opposed to human understanding. The Semantic Web necessitates the use of a declarative ontological language like OWL to produce domain-specific ontologies that machines can use to reason about information and make new conclusions, not simply match keywords.

Below are 5 main features that can help us define Web 3.0:
1. Semantic Web
The succeeding evolution of the Web involves the Semantic Web. The semantic web improves web technologies in demand to create, share and connect content through search and analysis based on the capability to comprehend the meaning of words, rather than on keywords or numbers.

2. Artificial Intelligence
Combining this capability with natural language processing, in Web 3.0, computers can distinguish information like humans in order to provide faster and more relevant results. They become more intelligent to fulfil the requirements of users.

3. 3D Graphics
The three-dimensional design is being used widely in websites and services in Web 3.0. Museum guides, computer games, ecommerce, geospatial contexts, etc. are all examples that use 3D graphics.

4. Connectivity
With Web 3.0, information is more connected thanks to semantic metadata. As a result, the user experience evolves to another level of connectivity that leverages all the available information.

5. Ubiquity
Content is accessible by multiple applications, every device is connected to the web, the services can be used everywhere.

What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 was the turning point where users can finally be creators and share. Participation and social interactions are available. You were able to create and share your experiences or learned information to others. User interaction was a big change from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. Search engines were becoming more advance and keywords narrowed down topics allowing the user find what they were looking for in a more intelligent way than previously. Some of the best Web 2.0 creations was YouTube, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and Wikipedia.

Web 2.0 for Education

The examples that are listed for the Web 2.0 are podcasting, blogging, posting to social media, and tagging. Using the internet is was a great way to explore more on a topic. Many can use the web and its many platforms to increase a dynamic classroom learning environment that is also more than just learning from a textbook such as the video posted below. Engaging students with the use of technology can help increase different learning techniques and capabilities. Students were able to watch videos that other educators created and explore other related topics. Teachers can go online and search for an educational website that would explain the lecture or topic in the classroom in a better, fun, and interactive way.

What is Web. 3.0?

Web 3.0 does not seem to have a clear definition of what it is, but rather explanations of what it does. It has been explained as a database where data is enhanced rather than just stored information. The Semantic Web improves the web technologies of searching and analyzing the data and being able to comprehend rather than using keywords or numbers. Web 3.0 also can be defined as the creation of artificial intelligence, 3D graphics, and mobility. Web 3.0 can be portable through your personal devices like a cellphone or tablet and be used anywhere.

Web 2.0 vs. Web 3.0

Web 2.0 and 3.0 are similar, but the execution is different. Web 2.0 was the creation of using data and surfing websites which allowed users to do more. Web 2.0 is predetermined data while Web 3.0 is enhanced, using the context of the user to provide better results.
A good example to see the difference of the two would be the way a search engine can narrow down a search result. If a user is researching a type of insect and they only use one word, the search result can be anything that uses that word even if the result is not what the user is looking for. When using 3.0 the user can be researching types of insects and while they use limited wording, the database will understand the context that the user is doing and provide search results that pertain to the specific insect that the user is researching. Rather than only using keywords, 3.0 will make the results more accurate.

Web 3.0 for Education

While most of the other versions of the web were there to revolutionize the creations and create platforms for users to explore, Web 3.0 is an enhanced version of the last. Students and educators can take advantage of AI technology within the classroom whether its from their tablet or phones to virtual exploration of a new country within their classrooms. Research has expanded and is available more so than ever. Projects can be expected to be advance considering there are so many tools provided.
