WEB 2.0

I had never heard of the term Web 2.0 before doing this project but I was familiar with some of the things that we did like Twitter, Picnik, and podcasts. There were several things that I learned about that were completely new to me, like Smilebox, Animoto, Voicethread, and Prezi. I think as a whole Web 2.0 tools are really helpful. I think using these things in the classroom is a really smart idea because not only will using them keep the children up to date with technology but I think that those tools could really cater to individual children's learning needs and also how they work best creating projects.
I'd have to say that Prezi was my favorite tools. I am so tired of using Powerpoint that Prezi offers a fun way to get the information across without being so monotonous with the presentation style. I really enjoy how the presentation spins and zooms in. I also think that with Prezi you would have to be very careful with the speed of motion because it could make people feel a little sick.
