    This is a great tool! They are learning and playing at the same time. the children become more interactive and eager to learn. the teachers get the feedback right away and they are overseeing everything. This will help the teacher decide who needs more help with other subjects. If the tablet is used the proper way it is beneficial.

web2.0 classroom technology

  • This report presents findings from a two-year investigation of the ways in which Web 2.0 tools and social networking technologies are being used to support teaching and learning in classrooms across the United States.
  • Teachers and schools we visited are using different Web 2.0 tools or programs to create virtual spaces or networks that support and enrich their pedagogical goals, both at the classroom and the district level, and increase educational capacity by extending learning beyond the physical walls of the classroom
  • We examine the following four lines of communication in the report: (1) communication among students, (2) communication between students and teachers, (3) communication with parents, and (4) communication among educators.

      Martin, I agree with you about the communication. Parents do need to have access to that channel of communication. We need to know what is being written. I think that starting these kiddos at early age will prepare them better for the future.

      Lu, Yes these children now a days have great opportunities with Web 2.0 tools. My 9 yr. old is already blogging at school! Friday she had to post about QR codes! I think she knew more than me in regards to those codes. They are doing so much at schools with technology that they even have digital day. No paper or pencil just technology tools.

  • Web 2.0 tools are being used to increase communication (not just dissemination of information) in ways that strengthen the educational community and help to center classroom-and out-‐of-‐classroom-conversation on issues and topics that support and deepen learning.

      Jaime, Integrating web 2.0 tools in the classroom is a great thing. I see it everyday with my kids and I am just mesmerized with the technology things that they now. It is awesome! It took me awhile to know how to use all this new technology. If the educator is willing to learn and not afraid to use it their classroom the transition is a smooth one. It really does help the child learn!
  • Therefore, the goal of this research was simply to interview and observe educators and students who are experimenting with these tools in the classroom to see what uses are emerging and to explore the learning affordances of blogs, wikis, and other Web 2.0 tools.
