Web 2.0 Tools

I had never heard of Web 2.0 until we talked about it in class. It was really interesting to find out about it. I had no idea how big of a thing Web 2.0 is. An application that I really thought was cool about Web 2.0 is wikis. I had never heard of a wiki efore--I had no idea even what a wiki was. Of course I knew about wikipedia, but that was the extend of my knowledge. Wikis are a great thing that I plan on incorporating into my future classes that I will teach. With a wiki, I can teach a new skill, and then have homework assigned to my students where they have to get on the wiki at home and fill in the cues and explain what we learned that day in class. By doing this, the students are saying what they have learned, and there fore will have a better understanding of the new skills. Wikis are a great tool that can greatly enhance learning.
