2.0 web tools and accessibility to web sites for the social appropiation of knowledge in an educational city

Abstract

The level of TIC usage is very low in many cities throughout the country. This is due, among other reasons, to high costs, lack of training and physical or geographical constraints. This phenomenon restricts the access to a great amount of public information and generates problems to the social appropriation of knowledge. There is a lot of public information in an Educational City and, as every good of this kind; it should meet the non-rivalry and non-exclusion characteristics to access it. In this way, the article, as one of the products of the research project RedCiude (Educational Cities Network), funded by Colciencias, attempts to contrast the 2.0 Web tools with the social appropriation of knowledge in an Educational City.
