Web+2.0


====**Web 2.0, the "revolutionized world" of the Internet! There are so many new ways to stay connected to friends, family and strangers all around the world! With the social networking programs now available through the breakthrough of Web 2.0 we can take our students anywhere and they can experience so much more without ever leaving the classroom!!! The Web 2.0 site that I found to have some practical uses in the classroom was SKYPE. After exploring this application, I started to think of all the ways to expose my "sheltered" students to the outside world by communicating with people from all over the world. However, the video capability on the computers in the classroom would be essential to using SKYPE to its potential. Also, finding a second party to Skype with would be the other component to tackle, but if anyone knows how to network it's teachers!**====

As an educator I will furthur explore the opportunity to take pen pals in the classroom to a virtual level! Being able to connect with a school in another country, state, or city and communicate with one another about culture, interests, school, and much more. Working with the technology department to acquire the necessary equipment would be important!======
