The affordance of Web 2.0 tools has revolutionized the
education world. Web 2.0 tool sites allows users to interact with other
users or change website content. Today, teachers are using Web 2.0 tools
to introduce lessons in their classroom. Students are collaborating with
other students around the world, creating online content and displaying their
work to a global world. Web 2.0 tools facilitates collaboration,
networking, critical thinking, innovation, creativity, global understanding and
multicultural learning. Various tools for collaborative writing and
editing, private communication, online conferencing, file sharing, and desktop
sharing. This type of sharing enable teachers to effectively collaborate
with the students beyond school hours, making optimum use of the technology
available. As
educators, the use of Web 2.0 tools is transforming our work, and more
specifically the way we support students in the classroom.
