"This Handbook brings together in a single volume about Web 2.0 much of what I tried to accomplish in multiple books about Web 1.0, providing a valuable overview of research, theory, and practice related to the current iteration of educational technology. The Handbook will be of value to a wide range of teachers, administrators, policy makers, and researchers concerned with technology-enhanced learning and will contribute greatly to timely debates affecting language education around the world".

This volume ... constitutes a massive injection of ideas on Web 2.0 and language learning but transcends this, provoking us to consider the broader implications of Web 2.0 and the society it is creating. ... the range of research and the depth of theoretical perspective in this volume make it indispensable reading for practitioners, teachers and researchers who use technology: and, in my view, should make it mandatory reading for those who do not.
– Dr. Freda Mishan, University of Limerick, Ireland
Handbook of Research on Web 2.0 is highly recommended to all educators, and especially those involved with second language learning, and Michael Thomas is to be congratulated for this excellent reference source to the subject literature.
