So you are talking about "US" as participants on the web. In general, the majority of users in Web 1 didn't know/didn't choose / could not participate in the interactive nature that was emerging. In Web 2.0 more of us do. Part of this is the evolution of the technology, part of it is evolution of our conceptions of ourselves as players in this big online game we call the WWW! Interesting.

I agree, Web 2.0 is a useful but misleading catch-all. However, I think the online communities in the so called 'web 1' included many early adopters and constituted only a part of the total users which eventually emerged as the web reached a mass audience. Many later adopters (to which I certainly include myself) encountered the web for the first time as largely passive and - in a web-wise sense - culturally-uninformed users, and for many of these, social media have provided genuine opportunities for participation and social interaction.

I have a small nit to pick. Web 1.0 was not about "read-only" in fact the dawn of the www opened up read/reply/write --- it was just a bit harder and limited. Web 2.0 built on this, but it was not "new." I would also argue your conclusion Web 1--> content , Web 2 --> people. My sense is that the relationships between content and people is more prominent in Web 2, but that the early online communities of "web 1" were totally about people. Just 2 cents from an old fart! Waving Nancy Yep, AMBITIOUS!

We did invite attendees to use our Twitter hashtag #smjgc1 to post their thoughts about social media - which a few did. We are also looking into funding opportunities to develop the sessions further, including workshop-based training, and physical and online platforms to share good practice.

You might want to do what George Siemans did for his first connectivism online conference. He put up a powerpoint presentation BEFORE the conference with basic information he wanted to cover in the conference. The discussions then focused on those areas that participants were interested in going more indepth on. Why not put your powerpoint up first, so then you'll have time to focus on issues your participants are interested in, but still getting some of the basics up there for those who may have no or limited background on the topic?
