As a teacher, the web 2.0 tools that I would use are youtube, prezi, edmodo, and kahoot. Youtube is full of information and misinformation, so as the facilitator, I would choose most of the videos viewed in the classroom. With prezi, there is ease of use especially if software like microsoft powerpoint is not accessible. Edmodo and kahoot are communicative platforms that include keeping the students regulated and safe.
One I found interesting was scribd. With this, we are able to remain informed or even entertained. A general subscription is 3 books and 1 audiobook a month with unlimited access to documents as well as magazines. Talk about light reading, get it? Because its on the internet. It would be even better if one had access to more books, like netflix, maybe library thing is a better option actually.
Gamification is one of the technological advancements I found helpful and progressive. This may give students intrinsic motivation, if learning feels like playing a game and games are fun, would learning then be fun? We are in a time where we are surrounded by technology and gamers are on the rise. Do you think this is feeding the fire? Or accommodating to our own progression?
