Web 2.0 Tools for Students
There are 1,000+ of Web 2.0 tools for teachers and students. Below is a list of tools that I have used in the classroom or teachers have recommended them to use in the classroom. I will try my best to keep this page updated. Tools change everyday!
Pay attention to the Web 2.0 tool “Terms of Service”. You may need to get parent permission before students are able to use in your classroom. Be CIPA/COPPA compliant.
