Web+2.0+and+beyond...

 **Web 2.0 Applications in Education:** In order to match students to their evolving learning styles, teachers need the use of free Web 2.0 Applications plus freeware, and some suggestions as to how they may be used in the classroom. Online Applications include mindmaps, slideshows, timeline makers, web tours, photo fun, website builders, blogs, wikis, surveys and polls, multimedia scrapbooks, office apps, flyer making, games, plus more. Web 2.0 means you no longer have to rely on the program being on your computer.

There are many benefits to using Web 2.0 apps in your classroom: 
 * engaging
 * student's work is authentic (if students publish to the web, they are creating for an actual audience, not just the teacher)
 * collaborative (students can work with others on authentic projects)
 * creative (for students, can create PPTs, movies, online videos, Google Earth file and upload to the web; for teachers, they can display share information with their students in new and engaging ways)
 * Web 2.0 apps can link the classroom with the home (sharing homework, samples of work, students working on projects, homework documents, etc.)
 * Web 2.0 apps are available anywhere and anytime, which helps to extend learning
 * reach many different learning styles
 * Visual
 * Auditory
 * Tactile or Kinesthetic
