Web+2.0



The above paper was done after learning about Web 2.0. Web 2.0 consists of websites that can be altered by not only the original creator but others as well. This website, Wikispaces, is an example of a Web 2.0 tool. For this project, our objective was to choose five Web 2.0 tools from a list supplied by our instructor. We then had to write about what the website allowed us to do and how we might use it in the classroom.

This was an interesting task because it required learning about tools I had never heard of in the past. I had heard of some, including blogging websites which I have found useful, but others were very new to me. I enjoyed learning about different ways to present lectures with the use of Web 2.0 and it also allowed me to think about the use of a classroom website. I liked this project so much that I saved the links to each website on my computer so that I can use them in the future.

In my future classroom I would like to use Web 2.0 tools to create a classroom website. This would allow for me to update students and parents about important information that they might need. Using such a website, parents and students could then contact me in the form of comments if they have any questions about what needs to be done, or if they have any suggestions. A classroom website would keep communication open between all parties and Web 2.0 tools would help that happen.
