What are Web 2.0 Tools?

“Web 2.0 Tools” refers to online tools where the user is able to retrieve, create and or deliver content for learning and/ or teaching.

What Does a Teacher Need to Know About Web 2.0 Tools?

Tools are usually free (replaces the need for expensive software)

Tools do not require hardware prerequisites, everything operates on the browser--if you have internet you can use these tools. This decentralizes where learning occurs.

Accessible using Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox.
