Web 2.0 Tools

This blog entry is for TEC-950: Web 2.0 Tools in the Classroom
Think back on all the Web 2.0 tools that you explored and investigated throughout this course. Which one really stood out? Describe the tool and how you would like to engage your students with this technology.
The tool that obviously blows my mind away is the use of blogs. I am attempting to use them in my mathematics classes at the high school level which is a challenge. Considering the way students feel about mathematics as a "cool tool". It indeed is a real-life tool that each of us has to be aware of to be an informed citizen. The ability to post content of nearly any kind, be seen by anyone, and discussed in any arena is just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG when describing blogs. I enjoy blogging about my own experiences and hope to hear from educators about different topics.
