Webliography

Here are the Web 2.0 applications that I used in my website:

Notely.net: This is a site where you can make to do lists, manage tasks, take online notes with links, highlighting and images, and build a color coded schedule. This will help the students to be more organized and to keep a better track of what they have going on, so that they are less likely to forget homework, projects, etc.


Storyjumper: This is an application where you can create your own story with pictures, clip-art, shapes and text and you can even order it when you have finished. This will help students to improve their creative writing skills, while being able to add graphics and have fun.


Game Classroom: This is a site where you can choose a grade level (K-6th) and play educational math games according to your grade level. This will help them with skills, most importantly math, while being in a fun, gaming improvement.

Book Army: Using this application you can read virtual books, make forums and discuss books with others. This will help the students build their communication and reading skills, while discussing and learning about new books.

e-learning for kids: Using this site children have a chance to pick their grade level and learn new things online, depending upon the subject that they wish to study. This will help students to review and study skills that they already know, plus learning new ones, in all subjects.

All of this applications were found at GO2WEB20.net which is a web 2.o application index site.

Thoughts on the Article
I didn't entirely agree with this article. I think that it is good for teachers to be knowledgeable on some parts of technology, such as a smart boards and the computers, but I think that there is a limit. I agree with phones, ipods, cameras and even facebook being banned from school, these are distractions, and sometimes you can learn best technology free, such as from books and lectures. I do however agree that wikiapedia should be allowed to be used in schools, because my teachers have always told me not to use it, but at the same time I have always found a lot of good information there. Overall though, I am not for so much technology being integrated into schools.
