Web 2.0 Inventory

Identify three Web 2.0 tools that can be used in a particular grade/subject area and apply one tool in the context of instruction.  

• How would you use this tool in your classroom? 

• Describe the application, implementation, and assessment of the tool in the classroom context. 

• You may use video or presentation tool to demonstrate the use of at least one Web 2.0 tool.  Include images, video and narration to illustrate how this tool can be effective for instruction.

• Post your presentation or video clip on your blog and respond to at least two of your colleagues with feedback as to how you might use this tool in your class. 

Part 1: Tool Inventory

In this section you should share three tools that you could use in your classroom for your grade and subject area.  For example you might use online gaming to allow your students to practice basic mathematics facts.  

Part 2: Application of One tool

Now you will select one tool to describe in detail.  

1. Explain specifically how you would use this tool including the steps you will take to implement the tool in your classroom and the context in which students will be using the tool.  
2. Describe how you will assess student learning as a result of the tool.  For example in the previous example you would describe the online gaming site and how students will use it.  State the process for having students practice the game.  You would explain how the game will be introduced and what students will do while playing.  You might assess the students by having them record the number of facts they scored correctly and write a reflection on their achievement.  You might also follow up with a basic facts test.  

Part 3: Presentation of Web 2.0 Inventory

You may create a Prezi, video cast or another means to share with your colleagues your inventory and tool.  Your presentation should include how to access the site, images or video clip to demonstrate how the tool can be used.  Your may also include, directions for instruction, criteria chart, assessment or rubric that would be used during implementation.
