Web 2.0 is a system of online applications that can be accessed from any computer with internet access and that allows people to collaborate from any location. It can be useful for a variety of classrooms because students can work from home and school and work together on projects from different places.
Dabbleboard is an online whiteboard system that allows multiple people to draw and write on the “whiteboard”. There are some pictures available on the application and it is also possible to upload pictures of your own. I could use this in my math class to have groups collaborate on homework by going on the whiteboard together and solving problems together. They could then compare differences and similarities in their solutions.
Doodle is a tool that allows groups to schedule events or take polls online. The application updates instantly and is color coded for ease of interpretation. This could be used to set up student group meetings with or without the teacher. Polls could also be used for simple pre-assessments to get a sense of how many people know about a unit topic already.
