Hello and Welcome to the Web 2 in Education Wiki. This site is designed to provide teachers with a directory of free webtools along with some suggestions as to how they may be used in the classroom. I have searched over 2000 websites and listed over 295 tools, that's almost 300 opportunities for you to use ICT in your classroom and all for free! Where possible I have included a brief review and a screenshot or working example of the tool. If you come across any other tools that are not on my list please let me know. Alternatively, if you use one of these tools in the classroom why not let me know how you got on by becoming a member and joining the discussion forum. In the meantime check out the list of tools on the Site pages to the left or have a look at the Prezi presentation below which showcases a variety of resources created by my students and myself using Free Web 2.0 tools.

Professional Development Overview Professional development is not just something that is important for teachers. It is important for all those involved in education from the support staff right up to the administrators. Professional development that includes participants from support, teaching and administration at the same time can help to bridge the divisions between groups. When differing groups work together, there is a greater chance for understanding each others work and also for forging bonds between the groups to work towards a common purpose.

Below we focus on professional development for teachers; on the page following, we talk about professional development for administrators.
