Web 2.0 in the Secondary Classroom

Conclusion

In this presentation, I explored four tools for the secondary English Language Arts and English as a Second Language classroom.

iMovie is a Mac application that can be used to create videos with pre-exisiting or student created images, video, and audio.

Twitter is a social networking site where students can share resources and conncet with other experts and peers.

Skype is an application that allows for dialogue and connection via audio conferencing, video conferencing, or text messaging.

EnglishClub is a student and teacher resource for English as a Second Language.

Combined these tools represent just a few of many Web 2.0 tools that can be used in education today.
