Web 2.0 tools can expose students to a world outside the classroom while being inside the classroom. These tools can be used in a variety to ways including but not limited to teach curriculum content, store data, create/edit video, edit photos and collaborate with others. As technology takes over our student's daily routines we as educators must produce ways in which they can use technology in the classroom if we want to truly be effective. Enrolling in my Web 2.0 class gave me great insight on the different tools I will be able to use in the classroom. My all time favorite would have to be aggravating pages. This tools is o user-friendly that I definitely want to implement it in my classroom to give my students a head start on a piece of technology that most middle school students have not even heard about yet.
There are very few concerns when it comes to using Web 2.0 tools. One concern is privacy issues that Web 2.0 applications bring to the forefront. It's so easy for students to stray when using technology so we must be careful with it's implementation. Another concern is that the use of Web 2.0 tools can make students as well as teachers stray away from traditional learning that may help many students. Since students are so dependent on technology, they tend to forget how to do the simplest math problems, tell time or even how to write a well structured sentence (due to texting).
