Web 2.0 For the Classroom
What is web 2.0? Web 2.0 is personalized, interactive, and engaging that goes beyond passive viewing to allowing us to create and customize content the way we wish to see it! The applications run on the web rather than your desktop and there are new tools launched each week. To learn more about web 2.0 check out what [|Tim Oreilly] has to say. Youtube has some very good info on [|Web 2.0]. .

There is a myriad of Web 2.0 tools available for the classroom. Web 2.0 allows us to produce web content straight from the web ... for the web and most services are free for basic use. This is a huge advantage as our students can work on projects anywhere, any time with any web browser. There are drawbacks though: the user needs decent internet speed and a properly updated system with java, flash, shockwave, codecs, adobe reader and possibly python to support all ajax features.

Wanting to get to know what is out there? Check out this awseome list from [|go2web20.net]. (very visual, takes a while to load)
