Importance of Using Web 2.0 Tools in the Classroom:
Today our educators and face many challenges. They must find a way to connect with their 21st century students, who let's admit grew up using the internet. According to the Hawaii State Common Core Standards its important for students to be well skilled in using 21st century tools and resources so they are prepared for college and career pathways. Skills include using technology, developed media literacy and technical skills which are incorporated throughout most Web 2.0 tools.
This week, the Mano's have voted that the best Web 2.0 tool is voicethread.com Voicethread is simply the best tool out there simply because it is a common place were group conversations are collected and shared with any teacher or anyone for that matter in the world.
It holds pictures, documents, and videos and allows people to navigate slides and leave their own comments and input. They can do so by voice, texts, audit files, or a video. It is easy to share anything through Facebook and twitter! Endless amounts of ideas for new lesson plans, and what not to dos' are available. This website should be every teacher's new best friend!
