Post#10

On free teacher tools there are several different things for teachers to use in the classroom. This website is great when you need a new idea or help on how to make something. There are tools to help you make quizzes and they have handouts already done. There are tools to make worksheets and even tools to help you make a bibliography. There are also links to tons of other websites that are useful.
This website also provides fun tools such as certificates and tools on how to use certain technologies. This website is also useful for students as well. It provides lessons on things that wouldn't necessarily be taught in class and provides safe links and email services for students. This website has a large variety of things and can be useful when you get stuck or need help. It can also be use to improve your lesson plans.http://www.techtrain.org/teacher_tools.htm#lesson%20plans
I think that web 2.0 is very useful in schools. They are useful for both students and teachers. They can make making lesson plans easier and they can provide tons of information. As long as students are monitored and taught how to properly use the resources than it can supplement any lesson. I think that it is important to allow students to use web 2.0 so that you can show them how to safely use it since they will probably be using in other settings as well.

  1. I agree that web 2.0 is useful but should be taught by the teacher so the students can use it effectively
