Thing #2

I had to search the Internet to learn more about blogs and wikis. I had heard about them, but I had no idea what they were. I think Web 2.0 tools are very useful in the classroom. Students would be motivated to learn while using the computer which they love. It is an interactive mode of learning rather than traditional learning. I would use blogs and wikis to share and collaborate with other people. I would also use these tools with students to write and communicate interatively. I think they would enjoy corresponding with their classmates and sharing their thoughts and feelings through Web based tools. I would want to use these relevant tools to motivate students to learn while introducing them to technology that is used in the real world.
