A primary aim of this website is to make psychology accessible and open to all and Psychology 2.0 has been designed to help faciliate this aim.
Why Psychology 2.0?
As the World Wide Web has evolved it has revolutionalised how we communicate, interact and acquire knowledge. This is particularly the case with the move towards what is known as web 2.0. Web 2.0 links people, it's a place where people contribute, share, collaborate and learn.
If you're not sure what web 2.0 is all about, you'll get the idea by watching this outstanding video by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. The video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information.

Make The Connection
There's is no better way of learning more about a topic than engaging with people who share your enthusiasm; and the beauty of Psychology 2.0 is that it makes it very easy to do just that. Not only will visitors to the All About Psychology Website be able to read your submission, but they will also be able to comment upon it should they wish to do so, and when they do, I'll will be on hand to make sure that any new dialogue is as it should be i.e., friendly, constructive and insightful.
Benefits of Contributing
Students, think about your resume (CV if you're from the UK), being able to mention that you are a guest author on the All About Psychology Website could be worth its weight in gold. Not only does it tell college admissions personnel and potential employers that you are embracing modern technology, but it also tells them something about you as a person. Doing something for its own sake before you are passionate about it says a great deal about your core values.
College places, scholarships and bursaries are becoming more and more competitive to secure and more often that not there is very little to choose between candidates. During my time as a lecturer in the UK there were always more student applications than places available on the degree course. Invariably, therefore, the difference between the successful and the unsuccessful candidates was that successful candidates could offer something that made them stand out from the crowd and I'm certain the same logic applies for job applicants.
Psychology 2.0 is also a great opportunity for anybody looking to promote anything connected with psychology (textbook, degree program, academic research, blog, website etc).
What Happens Next?
Upon receipt of your submission, I will cast a quick eye over it to make sure it's psychology related and do the odd edit if required e.g. turning a website URL into a live link. I'll then publish your page for the world to see.
Once your page has been published, it will appear as a link at the bottom of this page, just under the Psychology 2.0 submission form where it says "Previously Submitted Psychology 2.0 Contributions." To see your page in all its glory just click on the link.
