Web 2.0

Right now I don't think I would use something like Web 2.0 with my students. I'll be teaching 1st grade next year and don't see it as a very valuable tool for children of that age. I do however think it would be a great tool for older students, say starting in 3rd grade or so. Children these days are immersed in technology and therefore motivated to use it as a tool. I would use it in many ways. I think it could even be a great tool for community building. During breaks in the school year students could keep in touch with each other and their teacher (me) via an open forum like Web 2.0.
