Web 2.0

This week I was able to learn more about Web 2.0. There are many interesting and exciting things you can do with Web 2.0. I created a Wiki, registered for Goodreads, Diigo, and subscribed to some new things in my Google Reader! Those are all good resources that can help teachers become more efficient and find and share useful information with others.

Here is the URL for my Wiki: http://ashleyiptwiki.pbworks.com

I found the Wiki to be very versatile, as you can create many different pages and embed a variety of things. On my Wiki so far I have a video, a calendar, pictures, links, a slide show, and a GoogleDoc. Teachers can find valuable resources to help make information available to kids for teaching purposes, or to help create a link between school and home.

For this being my first Wiki, I did find it to be a little complex. You cannot just copy and paste things onto the pages, I had to learn how to embed, and edit the source. Some of these procedures are very similar to each other, and some have slight variations. I found that it is sometimes difficult to keep track of them all. However, it's not impossible and I'm confident that with more time I'd be able to use the Wiki in many great ways.
