 * Web 2.0: How to Utilize Internet-Based Activities in the Classrom **



I enjoyed the Web 2.0 aspect of this class because it allowed for me to gain a better understanding of the numerous amounts of websites available to teachers and students which offer alternative ways of instruction and performance. Prior to the completion of this assignment I was completely unaware of the websites created that were intended to help students excel in the classroom through the use of online, web-based resources. For this assignment, I chose to focus on five varying Web 2.0 applications that I thought to be beneficial to my specific classroom but given the opportunity I could have found dozens more. I know for a fact that I will utilize the Web 2.0 tools in my classroom. On the same note, I will encourage students to use various Web 2.0 tools outside of the classroom in order to expand their knowledge. The greatest thing about this artifact is that almost all applications are unique in the way in which they operate which ultimately allows for an array of instructional material for students.
