Web 2.0 tools are used to do a wide scope of things from following live conversations online, writing privately, asking public questions and connecting with your doctor in person. These are tools that ultimately use the internet to “enhance creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users.” It is easy and informative to access the various Web 2.0 tools. From viewing specific websites from real teachers, it is easy to see why they are incorporating these tools into their classrooms. It allows for them to post discussions online, connect their classroom to ones across the world, receive and learn about events or assignments and ultimately share each other’s ideas and opinions. For example, incorporating Google Reader, Slideshare and Moodle into an assignment in the classroom intrigues and interests both the students and the teachers. Overall, the Web 2.0 tools allow for so much expansion, detail and creativity to be added to any project. This is an important, new and fun concept that can contribute to all of our classes.
