Web Tools 2.0 Web Tools 2.0

Educators need to transform the classroom. The Internet is no longer a place where we only go to find out about something, Web 1.0; rather we go there to learn what others are thinking, to share what we are thinking, to construct knowledge, and publish it as well. This is Web 2.0. It is all about collaboration and communication.These changes should influence our work as educators, inspiring us to learn about these tools—what they are, how to integrate them into the curriculum, and what exemplar uses look like.

BLOGS

As a middle-school teacher, Clarence Fisher is used to spending some time each evening grading papers and reviewing lesson plans. But this year he's got an additional after-school task: updating his students' blogs.

http://www.techlearning.com/shared/printableArticle.php?articleID=171203059

Think blogs are a passing fad? Then consider this: A new blog is created every second. There are more than 900,000 blog posts a day. Some two million blogs are updated every week. At this point, I think it's safe to say that blogs are here to stay.
