Today, Ginny had us make two Web 2.0 tools which we could eventually use in our classroom. Before this, however, each of us presented our "About Me" pages to the class, allowing each of us to introduce ourselves to our classmates!
After each of us introduced ourselves, the first tool we created was a Wiki. Here, we discussed how a wiki is useful for a large group of people who need to work on a certain task. This allows every user to have access to the information at hand, as well as giving each person to ability to modify or change each bit of information as well. We then created a page "About Me" for ourselves, then linked it to a central page, creating a class wide Wiki!
We then talked about blogs and how they allow people to talk and discuss specific topics which they have an interest in. This allows for a web of users to be able to talk about everyday activities and news which they specifically have, and share it with the rest of the world! Each of us were then asked to create a blog for this class, to discuss what we have learned and interesting topics which we stumbled upon! And this is the first of those classroom posts!
I'll see you on Monday! :^)
