Web 1.0 vs. 2.0

Last summer I created a project for students using web 1.0 tools.  The students read fairy tales and different variations of those stories and then created their own fairy tale using their culture to influence their story.  Their teacher would upload the static story that then it would be kept in the library for others to read.  If this project was updated and used web 2.0 tools I would have students work together on a wiki to create their fairy tales.  That way it would be a collective effort (intelligence) from all participants.  I think that one major implementation challenge would be having students realize that others will be able to change the content of their fairy tales.  I believe that this project would work well both ways using web 1.0 tools or web 2.0 tools.  I would leave this up to the teachers to decide which tools would be best to use for their students.
