Web 2.0 tools are continuing to gain popularity in todays classrooms. As teachers are introduced to the tools and sites available to them and ways to incorporate them classrooms are coming alive with student activity and contributions. Students are being introduced to new ways of being involved in the classroom and finding new ways to have their voice heard and potential seen in a new light. There are many resources out there for teachers to utilize to make a more interactive classroom.
In my limited use of web 2.0 tools, my favorite so far is linoit. I like that all students can post to it and can do so anonymously. I think this can be especially useful for those students that may be too shy to speak up in class. This tool can also allow a teacher to gauge student comprehension of a lesson and allow them to address any areas where they see a lack of understanding rather than just continuing to move on.
