Web 2.0 & Education (Lastly, under this heading give 2 ideas of how web 2.0 can be used to enhance education).

• Blogs can be used to replace pencil-and-paper journals. This is not only a way to incorporate writing and technology but also a way to get students to read and respond to each other's writing.
• Traci I think web 2.0 could be used to help education in a few ways, like using a different language of a chatroom, you could see how different languages there are.     
• Traci Also you can watch for example science videos on youtube, to help you out with your big project commin up.
