In this post, I will be focusing on the Web 2.0 tools and their value in the classroom. Three such tools are social networking, wikis, and blogs. All of these tools are widely used in a variety of formats outside of the classroom. These tools also make the learning process interesting for students. Therefore, I believe these tools should be an essential part of online learning. In addition to the instructor using these tools to convey information, students should also use these tools to create artifacts for demonstrating their learning. The great thing about all of these tools is that they are free! Every where you turn now on the Internet, there is a free option for Web 2.0 tools.
I created an assignment for my online course in which students explore Web 2.0 tools.
