There are so many exciting Web 2.0 sites that build on student creativity to enhance learning. Most of these sites are free, allowing students to complete tasks and projects 24/7. Online storage, creation tools, interactive content for IWB's, cartoon programs, plugins to enhance blogs, graphic design programs that allow the imagination to expand, concept mapping software that allows group collaboration and more. This session will show case a range of exciting web 2.0 applications for education.

Hi Greg: Thanks for such a great session on web 2.0 sites! I never realise there are so many web tools we could use, for classroom & all things MULTIMEDIA! I am even beginning to think about how to use some of these tools for a uni tutorial!
