Thing #2 - Thoughts about Web 2.0

Web 2.0 has completely changed how we access the web. It's amazing how easily now written content can be displayed on the internet. You know longer have to memorize HTML codes and such. Just click, write, and publish!

Web 2.0 have revolutionized how students can access and complete assignments. This year I have decided to create a blog for classroom which will list daily assignments, contain pictures of classroom activities, and links to informational sites which will enrich the classroom curriculum.

Because students today are "digital natives", they feel at extremely comfortable with technology. using technology in the classroom is not the struggle it was in the beginning of my career, because students are now computer literate. As part of a novel unit, I would like for my class to create a wiki. I think students would truly enjoy contributing to it. I also think it would enhance the learning process and perhaps spark their interest a bit more.

As part of classes for my Master's Degree, I had to create and publish my own blog and wiki. The tools of Web 2.0 have already impacted and supported my own learning.
