Web 2.0 Links and Resources for Teachers
November 4th, 2007

My Web 2.0 workshop page was becoming cluttered with links so a dedicated Web 2.0 links page was born. I have attempted to categorise the links according to the following questions:

What is Web 2.0?
Where can I find some Web 2.0 tools?
What are blogs and how do they work?
What is a wiki? How do they work?
What is podcasting? How can I use it with my students?
What will happen after Web 2.0?
I also tidied up the resources for teachers that are available for download from the Web 2.0 workshop web page.
If you have a favourite Web 2.0 link or tool that you would like to share please add a comment. It would be much appreciated.

    Kenneth and Hazman, thank you for your comments.

    Hazman, I have added your recommendations to the page as well as an acknowledgment.

    Kenneth, I know I should and could use a Wiki for the links yet at this stage I find I can produce more elegant pages using Dreamweaver. Please allow me that sweet indulgence.

    Cheers, John.
