I did an action research project on Web 2.0 tools (specifically blogs) for my master's degree. I can sum up what I found for you -<br />
Two classes used blogs for communication in science classes (myself and another teacher, two very different groups of students, teachers taught the same thing every day). The experiment groups commented each other's blogs following the lessons. I taught another control group and instead of blogging, they journaled in a notebook.<br />

The experiment groups commented each other's blogs following the lessons. I taught another control group and instead of blogging, they journaled in a notebook.<br />
After one semester, the two experiment groups showed improvement in test scores by 57% and 56%. The control group showed 36%. The biggest increase was from the lowest readers.<br />

I would also be interested in research supporting the use of Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom. I haven't seen very much.<br />

I have read a few books that are about the power of web 2.0 technologies as they apply to business, not necessarily education. They have been very insightful and have convinced me that one of the reasons we need to teach using these tools is because they encourage the development of skills that are essential for success in todays workforce.

Hi Jessica<br />
A book I co-edited and wrote a chapter for is not exactly what you are looking for, but it might be helpful. We have teachers talking about how technology is influencing their classroom instruction, particularly in the age of standardized testing and assessement:<br />

I do think there is a lack of real research around the impact of Web 2.0 tools in student learning, though.<br />
