Web 2.0 • • •
It is an amazing socialization of the Internet. It is a phrase used to describe a change in the way we use the Internet. We are sharing, collaborating and exchanging ideas in ways that were not dreamed of a few years ago.
Selected Video Introductions to Web 2.0 • Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes
(change in one area (such as the way we communicate) can have a profound effect on everything else.)
• What is Web 2.0
(Andi Gutmans of Zend defines Web 2.0 and explains how it's changing the face of the Internet.)
• Understanding Web 2.0
(this video is to help teach educators about Web
2.0 tools.)
• A Vision of Students Today
(began as a brainstorming exercise, thinking about how students learn, what they need to learn for their future, and how our current educational system fits in.)
• Did you Know ? (Innovation is cumulative and the rate of change accelerates.) • Shedding Light on Web 2.0 ( Kathy Shrock presentation, Necc’07. ) •
Resources for shedding light on Web 2.0 - This page will provide you with links to sites to support the above talk.
Why use Web 2.0 in the classroom ? • There are advantages that benefit educators. • Web 2.0 addresses some basic frustrations that plague students and teachers. • Frustrations with contrasting operating systems ( PC/Mac) and expensive software are just a couple. • In contrast, Web based applications run smoothly on minimum system requirements. • The backbone of the Internet is the common thread that allows for easy access to Web-based solutions that are accessible with a variety of browers such as Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox.”

Organizers, To-Do's and Note Taking
We appear to be always busy and Web 2.0 offers us many "organizers", "to-do's" and "note-taking" to help us with our daily tasks.
• Gradefix - Simply add your homework tasks and Gradefix will work them into your schedule.
• Backpack - is a simple web-based service that allows you to make pages with to-do lists, notes, files, and images. • Chalksite - It's the quickest, simplest route to expanding your classroom onto the internet.
• NoteMesh - is a free service that allows college students in the same classes to share notes with each other.

Our Growing Need to Connect • • • •
Web 2.0 service offerings grow day by day. The expectation is that new services will continue to surface and develop into narrow online tools that compliment educational experiences. Young students gravitate to Web 2.0 because it recognizes their individual contributions and it validates the essential need to connect. Some of the sites need to be checked out first before they are used in the classroom. •
