There were so many Web 2.0 tools to choose from all over the internet. I found one that I though was interesting called Flavors.me which is a tool used for creating simple websites. Anyone can sign themselves up for a free account and it's super easy to use.
Teachers could use this tool as a website for their classrooms. You could use it as a basic introduction to you course, or you could use it as a way for parents to stay up to date with your class by posting announcements. The design of the website is very simple and would be attractive for all ages. A really great thing about this website is that it automatically saves itself every couple so you don't have to worry about losing information or anything.
I think web 2.0 is extremely useful in all grades of education. There are so many different applications out there for both teacher and student use. I think with the massive increase in technology in the classroom web 2.0 is the perfect way to keep teachers organized, keep students interested, and keep parents in the loop.
I also came across the same website you did and found it very useful. Its very useful for teachers because they can create their own simple websites for their class that will engage both the students and parents. In the future there will be a major use of web 2.0 in the classroom due to the improvements of technology.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it would be a nice and easy site to make your own website. I would totally use this because I am computer illiterate and have no idea how to make a website.
