Web 2.0 Tools


N. Krueger. (2014, April 5). 3 things every teacher should be doing with web 2.0 tools [web blog]. Retrieved from http://blog.iste.org/3-things-web-2-0-tools/

 

In this blog sponsored by ISTE, Nicole Krueger briefly describes some main points from two books written about Web 2.0 tools that can be used in schools.  The three mail points of the blog talk about “constantly evaluating what students know, creating personalized learning experiences, and helping students explore complex problems”(Krueger, 2014).

What caught my eye was the section on allowing students to use their own devices to make their learning more personalized. I looked into buying the books until I realized that they were written in 2007. So much has changed with technology since then that I felt the books would be outdated. I was happy to see that there will be an updated version out soon.

 

The two books are Web 2.0: New Tools, New Schools and its companion guide, Web 2.0 How-To for Educators, by Gwen Solomon and Lynne Schrum
