Objective 2

Web 2.0 resources are interactive web sites that allow users to collaborate. With the use of this technology teachers can integrate with students. Glogster can be used for word walls, posters, and classroom reports. Animoto can be used for group projects. Voki is a fun tool for students for make animated voices. With these voices students can tell fun facts or read reports. Bubbli.us is an excellent tool for teachers. It can also be used by students to make an outline of student reports. With these tools teachers and students can have an fun experience that goes beyond the traditional teaching of yesterday. My favorite Web 2.0 resource is Glogster; an interactive resource for teachers and students.

Twitter is a social website that allows interaction with other people. As a classroom teacher, I would use twitter to interact with students on classroom projects. Students could use twitter to interact with other students on classroom projects. The classroom teacher could use twitter to post project due dates and announcements. This social website would have to closely monitored with set guidelines to ensure the site is not used in inappropriate ways.
