Think about these questions:

When you were at school...

...did you have a mobile phone?

...were any of them connected to the internet?

...did you have an iPod?

...did you have a personal computer?

Internet tools = Web applications

What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design, that facilitates communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web.

Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications; such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis and blogs. (source: Wikipedia)

to the average student...

Web 2.0 is the web
