Conclusion

Although I have only included three Web 2.0 Tools into this book, we can already see the way they are changing education today. The use of technology to learn, create and share ideas allows for so much more advancement in the classroom. Many students learn at different levels, and Web 2.0 Tools can help anyone succeed at any pace. It is up to us as educators to search and find these tools for our students in order to use them to their full potential. "Like the web itself, the early promise of e-learning - that of empowerment - has not been fully realized. The experience of e-learning for many has been no more than a hand-out published online, coupled with a simple multiple-choice quiz. Hardly inspiring, let alone empowering. But by using these new web services, e-learning has the potential to become far more personal, social and flexible." (Readwrite.com, 2006)
