Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is a conglomeration of online tools that teachers can use in their classrooms. These are powerful tools that serve a variety of purposes such as blogging and online storage. The best part of it? All of the services are FREE!

One service on this site is called Yodio. It’s a useful program that allows us to record audio from a phone to an account on the Yodio website. Teachers could use this to post a picture and then discuss it on an audio recording for students. They could leave comments from their own phones in response.

Another program that I think is useful is the Online Video Converter which takes You Tube videos and allows you to downloadable files on your computer. Using video clips to supplement my teaching is something I think would help make my lessons more relevant and interesting. Having a file that I can transfer onto other computers in case I don’t have internet access would be helpful.”
