Web 2.0 is a way of sharing information through social media. It allows for you to interact with others in a dialogue. This is a great way of getting people to come together and socialize. I also learned what "wiki" means. It is a great way for having people get involved through a web tool. I can see how it is somewhat different from blogging. I like how you can leave a comment or edit anyone's posting. On the other hand, its a collaboration of people's ideas and it can be erased by another person.
Social Bookmarking and Voicethreads are also both great web tools. Social bookmarking is a way of getting what you want by research through more direct search engines. You don't have as much trouble finding what it is that you are looking for when you research. Voicethreads are a great tool because it shows many ways of multimedias. It allows you to collaborate media with your voice. This could be a great tool for handicap students. This gives them an opportunity to voice themselves.
I really enjoyed learning these web tools. I feel that I can utilize this in my classroom. Instead of just using blogs the children can explore Web 2.0. I will have the children social bookmark and do some voicethreads.
