Wed Tools 2.0

For my web tools I decided to stay with my American Heroes theme with the exception of my worksheet. My rubric was very simple, basic and to the point. My quiz was based on the information found on my concept map. My worksheet I did on frogs and my make your own worksheet was a word search with my American heroes names. Wed tools are a big part of education today. You do not see teacher making their own quizzes on paper, you see them typing their questions and answers into web tools. Also teacher do not make their own worksheets they usually find them online and print them out. However, the majority of teachers do make their own rubrics because every teacher is looking for something different though they may use web tools for the design of the rubric. Web 2.0 tools are an ever-growing collection of tools, the most familiar being blogs, wiki, and podcast. Blogs are the most widely accepted web 2.0 applications. Blogs are a web page that contains text, images, and links. Teachers can use a blog to keep in communication with parents. Wiki premits individuals to read, post, modify and delete information. Wikipedia is the most well-known wiki. Wiki can be used for collaborated writing projects. Video sharing is another web 2.0 tool, similar to youtube. Teachers can post videos for students to view providing resources. Photo-sharing such as flickr allows the posting of photos in an online account so others can view the pictures. Students and teachers can keep documentation of field trips.
