Web 2.0

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 has many applications that would be useful for teacher to use every day in their classrooms. Applications, such as the ability to take attendance, record grades and track progress on each student and or class, would save the teacher’s time and effort.   I work in a classroom and I am required to keep data on each individual student’s IEP goals, process, regression and behaviors each day. The applications that Web 2.0 would make it easier to record each day’s data and keep track of areas of concern that needed additional instruction.
I also thought that the voice thread and WIKI features would provide a great opportunity for students to use for a group or classroom project. The Wiki could be used to plan their projects outside of the classroom, so that all students could be included in the process, regardless of their schedule. The voice thread would allow the students to use their hands on creativity and technology savvy to showcase their project to the class.

  1. I said almost the same exact stuff as you did with the WIKI. I think it could be lots of fun to have a group project using those kinds of sites

  2. I had not thought about using these types of tools to keep track of student information, grades and such; that's really interesting. Thanks for the thought. (:
