The internet is no longer a collection of static websites, but is now the basis for hundreds of applications that facilitate learning, communication and creativity.
WEB 2.0 represents the internet as a two way road on which people find each other, exchange ideas and information, create and display their work. Participants interact and respond to each other in meaningful ways.
Benefits to our students include:
Opportunities for peer to peer learning
A changed attitude toward intellectual property
The diversification of cultural expression
The development of skills valued in the modern workplace, and
a more empowered conception of citizenship.

Authentic Learning
Today, the web is not just an information resource, it is a wonderful learning resource.
Your students can create a lesson with online content, collaborate with students in another country and then present their concepts to a global audience.

Because using Web 2.0 tools facilitates networking, they benefit from developing their skills in:
Critical thinking
Communication
Creativity and innovation
LiveBinder organizes it all….
This free online service lets you create binders containing web pages, documents and pictures. It is arranged like a three-ringed binder that contains tabs to display different subjects.
Students can use this great tool to create a book of resources or showcase their work.
It is easy to create a binder!

How do I use it in my classroom?
Create an organized source for your materials and assignments.
Share with other teachers and let them share with you.
Let your students create a LiveBinder as their own portfolio or work on a group project and collect their research in a binder.
Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.

Sometimes referred to as a ‘group blog’, this Web 2.0 tool allows comments and discussion around a picture, topic or project. It is presented as a multimedia slideshow of audio, video and pictures which can then be commented on by recording with a mic, phone, webcam or by typing in text.
Students are able to demonstrate their knowledge about a subject or present their own work for a global, authentic audience.

So why use Web 2.0 tools?
Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement.
The new literacies almost all involve social skills developed through collaboration and networking.
These skills build on the foundation of traditional literacy, research skills, technical skills, and critical analysis skills taught in the classroom.
