Web 2.0 Tools

It is tough to choose just one Web 2.0 took that really stands out. I liked discovering the usefulness of del.icio.us and RSS feeds (I even shared this information with a colleague today), but I think that blogging really stands out.  I will incorporate my blog into the curriculum this year. I can use this tool to post information about the class, link assignments from Google Docs, and even post pictures and videos for students to reflect on. I would engage my students with this technology by bringing them to the lab to log on, become a follow of my blog, and respond to a posted journal question. From that point forward, they will be able to access my blog from home or from the computer labs at school. After experiencing how easy it was to set up and update my blog, having my students create their own blogs for an assignment is definitely an attainable goal for me this year.
