The 101 best web 2.0 tools for teachers based on functionality, application, ease of use and compatibility with educational technology.

Why use Web 2.0 tools in science and math classes? The primary reason is they facilitate access to input and interaction with content through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. These tools offer enormous advantages for science and math teachers, in terms of helping their students learn using Web 2.0 tools. For example: * Most of these tools can be edited from any computer connected to the Internet. Teachers can add, edit and delete information even during class time. * Students learn how to use these tools for academic purposes and, at the same time, can transfer their use to their personal lives and future professional careers. * RSS feeds allow students to access all the desired research information on one page. * Students learn to be autonomous in their learning process.

La red social conocida como web 2.0 pasa de ser un simple contenedor o fuente de información; la web en este caso se convierte en una plataforma de trabajo colaborativo.
