Why Web 2.0?

Add to Google

Frequently students ask why we integrate so many emerging technologies, such as Web 2.0 tool, into our course? This is done because previous students have found it was very difficult to integrate the technologies they learn from the course into their classroom teaching. Most schools and school districts do not have learning management systems, such as Vista or Blackboard because they are fairly expensive. Web 2.0 technologies generally are free and can be used by just signing up. Each Web 2.0 tool has specific features and functions so classroom teachers can select those appropriate to support their teaching and learning.
