Web 2.0 Tools Reflection

I am in a district that uses Google powered email so everyone has access to Google Docs, Sites, etc. On our web portal, there are also links to many Web 2.0 tools. I have used Prezi, Wordle, Rubristar Rubrics, Survey Monkey, History Clipart, Quia, and others. Some of my coworkers utilize these, others are being converted more slowly. 

I enjoyed the web conferences, but I found that my busy schedule often made it easier to review the recording rather than attend. It was also easier because I could stop and start the recording to “catch” something or hear it again.  

The discussion portion was interesting because I could gauge myself at times by the comments that others posted. I also found that I could sometimes jumpstart my writing by reading what others had to say. It made me focus my attention. Other times, I jumped right in and contributed promptly.  

Overall, my life has been permanently changed by the introduction of Web 2.0 tools and the amazing array of possibilities that they offer.
