Web sites has given students great advantages when it comes to their education. Web 2.0 technologies would be used to teach students as well as keep them informed of upcoming events, grades, and progress. Most websites offer great information, but at times they can be very misleading.
For example Wikipedia can give false information because anyone can go in and change the information on the texts. In my high school teachers told us not to use wikipedia. Wikipedia is just one of many sites that could give false information to students.This can hurt a students grade, get them in trouble or just confuse them.
Going on web hunts have been helpful because of new engine searchers such as scholar or google images that can locate various types of information. This helps the teacher expand their knowledge on the subject they are teaching. Making it easier to express thoughts and ideas to students clearly. It makes learning overall much more effective.

The internet is the best resource for students because it contains so much knowledge and information. Anything a student would like to know or reseach can be found easily on the web. There are thousands of learning sites used to teach kids nad help them in areas like math, reading, writing, science and history. Images and videos are also there for step by step directions.
The internet also lets students in the higher levels to look at upcomming assignments and there grades. This could be very useful to a teacher becuase instead of showing everyone their grade all he would have to do is say check online. Like for instance my old high school Park Vista had a site that all grades could be seen on. This page is great for parents who can never find out how their kids are doing before it is too late.
THe web could also help kids learn on their own, which is a great head start for things to come. It gives kids responsablities on what they feel is appropriate to see on the internet and what it is used for. The internets big purpose is also communication. A student can contact other students for missed work or extra help. Blog sites help so all the students in the class and communicate. That is a big help becuase students can get very frustrated when overwhelmed.

Inspiration was an excellent tool to learn because it helped in mapping skills. This type of program would be great in any class becuase it helps with organizational skills. Students could also have fun with different ideas. It could also be used to organize homework or any other group projects.
It makes a teachers life very easy with this type of technology. Storyboarding skills could also be helpful because it supports the idea of cause and effect and how web sites are evaluated. I would like to master programs like inspiration because it would be so useful. Also to print out to show what and who is connected to the subgroups. Chapter 7 talked about great ideas that would help the classroom like storyboarding and idea mapping. It encourages students to think about relationships and how they effect each other.
