Define and explain Web 2.0 in your own words.
Web 2.0 is an amazing conglomeration of applications available for use among all that covers literally about anything you can imagine. It contains tags so that the apps are easily grouped together in case you are looking for something in particular. It is a great networking resource.
What are some ways and/or reasons to utilize web 2.0 tools in the classroom?
Just browsing the e-learning tag - there are apps that can teach you to type, help form a study group, translate a foreign language, and broadcast videos among many others. I can see a lot of these viable in the classroom setting. If students want to collaborate on a project - there is an app for that. Just thinking about the English classroom, there is even an app for finding and using quotations. The opportunities are endless. As for reasons to utilize it, it's easy to search on and the blurb about the app helps in identifying what exactly is its purpose.
Hi and aloha from Hawaii. I found Katie Morrow and am following some of her stuff. I am searching for people who might be interested in creating a great site for the teaching of art history. Having looked at student videos I am looking for teachers who think this way and who might collaborate with me on an art history site. it is a complex idea and depending on where you are in your education, might you be interested in a dialogue?
