World wide web (www) is an application on the Internet. WWW was invented by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee Tim Berners Lee], to allow computers to access the Internet in the form of a web page, using an application called the Web Browser.  There are millions of pages of shared information on the computers in the network, created by many people and organizations, in the form of 'web pages' accessed using a software application called a '[[wikipedia:Web_browser|web browser]]'.

This information network is called the World Wide Web. The source of information is called the web site. A web site is a collection of related web pages of information. Web pages are identified by means of a URL (uniform resource locater), which is treated as the website address, usually beginning with “http://” (HTTP stands for hypertext transfer protocol, which is the method used for transferring web page information from the server to your computer. access. We connect to the Internet using a web browser and the browser opens one web page. This web page has links to other web sites / web pages which we can visit by clicking on the links. Thus we can visualise the world wide web as a huge mansion with many rooms, each room having many doors. When we enter a room (open a web page), we can access the resources in that room. We can also go from that room to other rooms through the several doors that this room has (go from one web page to another web page by clicking on any of the links on the page we are in). The new room also would have many doors. Thus we can go through the mansion from room to room (web page to web page) through the door (web link) in each room. Thus though the entire web is very huge, we only access it one page at a time.  We can connect to the web and go from web page to web page using a software called the [Learn Firefox web browser]. Web browsers allow a user to quickly and easily get information provided on many web pages at many websites.

Initially the access to the www was only for downloading, this was called Web 1.0. Subsequently the second generation of www was evolved, called Web 2.0. , where ordinary users can create their own materials and publish on the Internet, using software tools like blog or wiki. A blog is like a e-journal and teachers can create their own e-journals for reflective practice using software tools such such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WordPress WordPress]

We have moved further along now to collaborative creation of web pages, through online collaboration platforms.  Now more and more processing can be done on the Internet, where the data, results and analysis is stored the Internet and we can operate/ add/ access through various web based applications.  This is called [[wikipedia:Cloud_computing|Cloud Computing]].
