Twelveth week

Well, this week we started the second partial, It was really productive. I learned important things like: What means web 2.0? It is the term given to describe a second generation of the WORLD WIDE WEB that is focused on the ability for people to collaborate and share information online. Web 2.0 sites provide users with information storage, creation and dissemination capabilities that were not possible in the environment of Web 1.0

Web 2.0 technologies provide teachers new ways to engage students in a meaningful way to learn for example Traditional classrooms have students do assignments. However, Web 2.0 shows students that education is a constantly evolving entity. Whether it is participating in a class discussion, or participating in a forum discussion, the technologies available to students in a Web 2.0 classroom does increase the amount they participate. A blog is another useful tool. It is a personal journal published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. A wiki is essentially a database for creating, browsing, and searching through information. Wikis are interconnected by hyperlinks where users can find complete information. Social networking service is an online platform that focuses on facilitating the building of social networks or social relations among people who share interests, activities, etc. Thanks these feature students have the opportunity to learn for themselves and share that learning with their peers, also web 2.0 brings a whole dimension for   Presentations tools that lets us create and share our presentations anytime, anywhere, whit anyone we like through

http://www.slideshare.net/ another helpful tool that we learned was about prezi. It is a zooming presentation editor, it is better than PPT. Prezi is free web based platform moves beyond slides and allows you to create an entire presentation on a single canvas rather than a series of slides. Furthermore, you can turn in all different directions and pop in and out of photos, graphics and text, etc. This page contains good information about prezi as well as a tutorial video that helps you to use it.

Definitely, this week was really important for me, because I learned lots of about web 2.0 and how this wonderful tool can help me in my assignments at the university as well as in my professional. In conclusion, web 2.0 becomes a powerful tool in the educational field which I think to use in order to create interactive classes in the teaching learning process.
