    In this article, the idea of Web 2.0 tools being more prevalent in today's classrooms is discussed. Tools like e-books, e-journals, blogs, wikis, skype, virtual conferences, twitter and much more have recently been welcomed into classrooms across the globe. This recent change in tools used in classrooms has caused some discrepancies in regards to the education theories that are applicable in classrooms. With these discrepancies comes the idea to include alternative frameworks like connectivism. Because Web 2.0 tools provide opportunities for interaction, communication and emergent learning, it is distinguished from more traditional modes of learning, which is where connectivism as a learning theory comes into play. I found this article credible and helpful. I think that it provides interesting information on how Web 2.0 has paved the way for a new learning theory to be developed.
