Huh? What is Web 2.0?
This
was my facial expression before this assignment…lol.
“Web
2.0 typically means the development of internet applications that emphasize
sharing in inner activity” (mikewelden).
Group
Panda has found many informational and great resources for using Web 2.0 to
capture student works in the classroom.
However, it came down to finding what website offered different and free
options online that would apply to the classroom learning.
This
website offers 10 free web 2.0 tools for teachers to try in the classroom. These tools are helpful in creating online
classrooms and allows for the learning interactions between student, teacher,
and parents as well.
The
tool that we found most interesting is the knowitall.org tool because it was
specifically designed for the classroom and it applies to grades k-12 students
in learning. All students can benefit
from this tool because it allows students to use the different options offered
to create, interact, collaborate, and the tool provides evidence of student
work. The site includes different ways
of learning, different topics, allows for virtual field trips, interactive and
educational games, and so much more.
There are a number of featured sites and resources that can be found here that will allow for educational interaction and collaboration. The different type of tools applies to many areas of study (Math, English, Social Studies, Health) and towards different ways of teaching and learning. This is a great tool for teachers to use in the classroom because it provides evidence of student work and allows teachers to see the progression of students, it engages students to learn, and it also provides evidence to parents of what their child is learning in the classroom and that is a huge step for getting parents more involved in their child’s learning.

When you see the evidence of student work, you
know that they have come far and mastered the skill of Learning.
