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.

The uses for wikis in the classroom are endless. Teachers can create wikis for many purposes including communication to parents and community, display of student work, how-to tutorials for students, student created projects, etc. The Wiki Lesson Plan Idea page focuses on ways to incorporate the use of wikis into the curriculum.
