Learning Web 2.0 Applications

     A Wiki is a page, or collection of web pages, which you can choose if you make it public. A Blog is a personal website that contains your personal thouhghts or whatever you would like to share with others. One thing that is different from Wiki and the blog is that in Wiki others can edit the page and on the blog the only thing they can do is comment on your post. When I become a teacher I would like to use the blog, I could start a disscusion in the class and the students would go home and post any comments or concers they might have about the topic. I would would make it work just like we are using it in this class.
     The Socialbookmarking really caught my attention. I had never since it before. It is like saving your favorite websites but on the web where you can access it on any computer. I would love to use the socialcookmorking in the classroom, I would think it would work great with fifth grade students that understand the computer a little more. I would include websites that help the students with their homework and improve their learning from there house. Voice Thread is very interesting to use with the cllassroom but I would want to use it with high school students. Because I could include images, documents, and videos using voice.
     Tapped in builds teachers to support one another through peer networks. In Tapped in they can participate in or lead topical discussion and in groups. Another thing is Tapped in brings educators together both locally and wideworld to cultivate a community that supports each other as professional.
