Chapter 5 Reflection

Identify Web 2.0 Tools and how they can be used in the classroom.
Web tools now allow students to elaborate on their studies. Technology has become a vital part of learning for students. It also allows teachers to form things such as podcasts. These allow teachers to post them and students can use them later. This is very helpful to those who need to listen to the lecture a second time. Recording lectures also helps students who are ill and must miss class. This is a great way for students to get caught up on their work. It is also good for students who are studying and need to listen back and be sure that they are right about what the teacher has said. It is also good for audio learners.
Wikis is a website used for many people. It is handy because it allows many people to be able to edit the information on it. It is good in today’s world because it is hard to find time for everyone to meet. Students can now simply put it on this website. This site is not always reliable because some people base things they put on their on their opinion rather than fact. This is why this is not a legitimate resource for students site in an official research paper or project.
Web tools are a great application to use in the classroom. Teachers and students can use them to their advantage!
