I learned a lot of new, very interesting, information about some of the ways we can better education. The wikis are the most important to me. I think it is cool that instead of emailing back and forth you can have one wiki where everyone can go and leave their own input on whatever the specific topic is. In classes, especially, you could use it for group projects or homework assignments where the class could go and find out certain things about the project or assignment. Technology is so important to the classroom and I really love that classes have become so involved with wikis and the internet and smartboards. Students these days are used to having the internet and computers at their dispense. It is almost easier to involve technology than it is to try to get students attention without it.
So true. So many students are up to date on all kinds of technology. The Web 2.0 tools are a good way to use technology in the classroom and keep the students interested.

ReplyDeleteI really liked your response to the web 2.0 readings. I hope I can utilize web 2.0 in my classroom as well. Wiki's are the most interesting to me and I hope I can inspire my class to participate, and I think that will be the key. With the whole class working together my classes will benefit from the integration of web 2.0 technology.
