web 2.0

Were there any Web 2.0 toolswe talked about today that you feel would help further education? How might ou use them in your teaching?

I enjoyed talking about the different types of things that can be done with Web 2.0. It actually blew me away after watching that little video on this topic in class last week. The fact that you can do so many things digitally now is really astounding and fantastic all at the same time. I liked the fact that you can link articles to peoples bloggs and to their websites and emails and then even to their twitter accounts..it was crazy and i know that there are many things that i don't even have a clue about because i am just begining to learn about this new thing, which might even be old in tech time but new to me none the less.

I am going to have my students do a simillar activity when I become a teacher because i thought that having us surf the internet was a great idea because it gave us some control of what we were doing and what we were learning about the topic of web 2.0. I learned about different conferences that people can attend and how you can even become a fan of web 2.0 and follow posings of other fans if you want to. I want my students to be aware of all of the possibilities that are out there with this web 2.0 stuff. I know that i have a lot to learn about it but am looking forward to really diving into it as a teacher and incorporating it into my classroom.
