Web 2.0 Benefits in Education

      There are many benefits to integrating technology into education. As educators we must learn tools available to us and how to properly use them.  Students of this generation learning differently than their educators.  They use technology for example, blogs, videos, and Google searches to promote their own education. 
   
 As educators we can use technology to give students a more personalized education. We can use different Web 2.0 technologies for different styles of learners.  For example students who are visual learners can watch Animotos. Students who are auditory learners can listen and watch Youtube videos.

   Blogs are also an excellent tool to integrate into class. Parents can view students course work and communicate with teachers.  Teachers can also make resources available for students 24 hours a day, so they don't lose their homework.  Blogs also promote discussion of classroom activities which promotes further comprehension of classroom materials.
