Web 2.0 tools are tools used to create word processing documents, blogs, photos, videos, spreadsheets etc. that are stored on a secure website that you can access from any computer from anywhere, anytime. This technology is called Cloud computing and a person can create/edit/share their creations as well as collaborate with groups simultaneously.This would be helpful in education for when teachers want to collaborate with other teachers, or with students who are out on an extended leave of absence.
Delicious is one tool that I was interested in because there have been plenty of times I was not at my computer when I needed a website from my "favorites/bookmarks". Delicious is a web based site that holds my favorites/bookmarks information that I can access from any computer anywhere, anytime as well as share this information with anyone for their use. This would be helpful for when I'm a teacher because I can update blogs or classroom information, emails from home if I forget to do this before I leave school.
Voice thread is a tool that creates videos/presentations. A person uploads pictures/images and then creates audio for those images....kind of like the yodio video we did? This could be helpful for students to use when collaborating with group presentations because they all can work on this together from their own computers, saving time and then the video can be shared/published to the web or blogs.
