Web 2.0 Tools!!

There are many of different kinds of things that Web 2.0 Tools can help you with, especially on a regular and daily basis.  But what I definitely do believe in is that Web 2.0 Tools or that those kinds of applications are used a lot more in a teachers’ classroom today.  Some of the Web 2.0 Tools or applications are called wiki, and social bookmarking is an application that allows you to share your bookmarks with specific people or groups.  And voice threading is a different kind of multimedia slideshow that allows creators to combine images, documents, and videos using your voice.  But to me, Web 2.0 Tools are basically a way to integrate and collaborate with all of the different types of social medias all in one, so that it makes it easier for people to find and figure out how to use technology in this day and age.  And because of the fact that technology has gotten flamboyantly more complicated as time keeps on going, as the world keeps on turning.

In the world of education today, Web 2.0 Tools have the ability to combine technology with many collaborations in the social networking realm.  Web 2.0 Tools are also called applications because of the way that technology is increasingly being developed at an exceedingly fast pace.  Then again, the world that we live in never stops moving, which means that new things are always being created, so in all reality technology is never fully developed because you can always create and add more to the product that you already have at hand.  The different things that you can add is like the many kinds of applications that most people and definitely most students use on a regular basis is like Facebook, Myspace, Google, Wikipedia, Twitter, Yahoo, Bing, and even Flickr.  All of those applications can also be an avenue to talk to professionals, maybe talk to future employers, and to ask students for their own personal opinions.  Web 2.0 Tools will and can get students writing and thinking about important topics and what their interests and goals are or goals that can be evolved. These applications can give the students an authentic audience to write to or the audience can give the students suggestions on what to write, it also helps the student's to communicate and collaborate more in Web 2.0 Tools.  These applications can also help eliminate the walls in school because a lot of students are shy and can get teased for having their own personal opinion and or just speaking out in class to answer questions.  I definitely think that it’s funny that the most famous wiki application or Web 2.0 tool is Wikipedia today and how it’s one of the major resource that’s used in the world. But you never truly know if any of the information that you’re reading on Wikipedia is actually the real facts about many of the things in the world that is known and or unknown because it did start out really small and as a resource without very much competence at all.  And that is why Wikipedia is the perfect example of the way that Web 2.0 Tools or Web 2.0 applications will and can allow communication and collaborations with anyone, anywhere, and anytime.
