they can harness the web 2.0 technologies to share their experiences with a larger, global audience
Web 2.0 is a term which describes the trend in the use of World Wide Web technology
and web design that aims to
enhance creativity, information
sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users.
Web 2.0 is about users and content instead of surfing on the

This curriculum web is designed to help students synthesize all of
the information they have gathered in a unit of study on Romeo and Juliet and
present it in a creative way that requires them to work collaboratively.
Today’s students must know how to navigate the World
Wide Web, search for needed information, and filter through unreliable
sources. By requiring them to research using the Internet, students will
gain and enhance these skills.
