Post #6

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.
