But for the most part, Web 2.0 does not include interactive content.

Then they upload their interactive creations to the shared Scratch website, where other members of the Scratch community can interact with the projects on the site and download the original source code to examine or modify the project [3]. The Scratch website offers an alternate model for how children Empowering Kids to Create and Share Programmable Media
