Web 2.0 Projects
Why Web 2.0?
- It's what kids know and use already.
- Students don't see how what they do online connects to what they do in school- unless we make that connection explicit.
- Web 2.0 projects allow students to learn and develop the 21st Century skills they will need to survive.
- Web 2.0 projects allow teachers to address higher order thinking skills (HOTS)
