Web 2.0 is a new radical way of generating, cooperating, excision and allocating user-generated content online. Mainly the tools are about the simplicity of its usage. The need to download is no longer needed, while teachers and students can dominate many of the tools in a short period of time. Now with presentations it doesn’t have to be to so plain and direct. With the wiki and other social sites you can upload and edit separate ideas to formulate the point of view you are trying to get across. With Web 2.0 tools you can think outside the box and explore the options that are available for use on the web. Community-building and collaboration remain two crucial facets of Web 2.0. A variety of tools allows teachers and students to interconnect, join forces and piece work. Certain Web 2.0 tools, similar to Edmodo, are exactly aimed at educationalists. This Twitter-like gizmo allows a person to fashion tradition classrooms intended for curriculums, clubs, close relatives and shove out projects, prompts and informs. Now within in my future profession of teaching I plan to allow my students to conversate with me through assigned twitter accounts. I like twitter because of the non verbal spoken conversations it allows. My students will be able to convey with one another and ask questions about the assignments without having to wait to come to class the next day and wait to ask me as the teacher. Also I plan to use twitter to facilitate the actions of my students so i know that they are using the social media site for my classroom purposes only. I also will allow my assigned homework be submitted to me through the direct message link on twitter that wasy the usage of paper is cut down and i am doing the enviorment a favor by endorsing recycling. Also anthor social media tool i will use in the near future is the Eportfolio. This eportfolio tool is rawesome that is the word awesome and raw joined together.lol This media tool allows me to have my professional credentials on the net so future employers can view this. The reason i will use this tool is because i can always edit and update with just the click of the mouse. Last but not least i could see myself using the web tool of Pintrest. I would only use this tool to plan out my lesson plans for the week so that all my ideas stay in order.
I agree Nic, I am really feeling techno savvy. I feel like I can reach more people and do more things after being taught the many web 2.0 tools. This class, although challenging, is one that I will use in my career definitely. Good post.
