Web 2.0 tools

I've been looking for information on Web 2.o tools and I found two interesting sites that provide you with a list of different applications and a short description. Really interesting.

Here's a definition from http://web2012.discoveryeducation.com/web20tools.cfm

"Web 2.0 is about revolutionary new ways of creating, collaborating, editing and sharing user-generated content online. It's also about ease of use. There's no need to download, and teachers and students can master many of these tools in minutes. Technology has never been easier or more accessible to all."


Have a look at these:

Hope you find it useful. Have a look and try!

Reflecting upon....

This week I have realised the importance of sharing with others information or suggestions about technology.


The amount of web pages and applications useful for teaching and learning is overwhelming, so  if we do not have someone else's guidance we may feel at a lost.


Yesterday, some of us attended a workshop. Deborah, the lady who was in charge of it, gave us a presentation on how to use "delicious.com" She showed us different web pages, reliable ones, full of very interesting stuff. If I had not attented that workshop, I wonder if I ever would have been able to "get to" those sites....


So, if you know something interesting PLEASE share. I promise I will do so and I'll start right know.
