Technology+for+Sharing,+Collaborating,+and+Communicating

Web 2.0 technology is a great way to share, collaborate and communicate in the educational world. With these new technologies we can improve students learning experience. Wikis, Pod casting, and Goggle docs are three very useful Web 2.0 technologies.

Wikis allow you to type information on a web site very similar to a word document. It also functions as a web document that has multiple pages all interconnecting. You can invite people to your wiki and they can post their own assignment and ideas. Wikis allow for a central location that everyone in your wiki can get to and use.

Pod casting is another valuable tool for the class room. They can be used to provide reviews and study guides that keep the students entertained and on their feet. If a student misses the class they can access the pod cast on-line and can review what they missed that day. Pod casts can be sent home to students for extra studying and they can even contain an assignment.

Google docs is a very useful tool for the classroom. It allows people to collaborate on projects from different locations and at the same time. For example you can create and assess surveys with your group. You can store your documents on a Google sever that can be obtained from any computer with internet.
