Introducing Teachers to Web 2.0

My first task is not only to start using Classroom 2.0, but to introduce our interested faculty to Web 2.0 in general.

Web 2.0 is, as far as I understand it so far, using web based applications instead of applications that are found on the computer you are using. In this way, it makes little difference what computer you are using or where you are using one. Instead, all the software is on the web and accessible from anywhere you have access to a computer.

Even this application, which I am currently using on-line, has most of the functions of my own version of 'Word', including spell check. Not bad.

Besides my Blog on this site, I would like to get to Forums, Groups, and the other functions seen above.

To be continued....
