Web 2.0 An interaction of various web application tools that can now incorporate pictures and videos. (Ex: Facebook or Skype)

In my opinion, I think this is a particularly effective using of the Web. Unlike Web1.0, Web2.0 specifically combines pictures and videos which pertain to the interests of many people. It's an important visual learning tool.

If you are going to use peer editing in the classroom, I would first make sure that all of your students feel comfortable with other people seeing their work.

False Identity: This term refers to when someone is capable of pretending to be someone else via the privaxcy of the web.

Something interesting is that I have personally dealt with someone having a false identity over the web. This is something that should be taken very seriously, and you should immediately contact the creater of the website.

Creating a fake facebook account, or blogging while pretending to be someone else for a class

Media Literacy: The ability to evaluate different websites. This can be used by using the 5 W'S.

Technology is becomming a big part of our world today, so it is crucial to become as comfortable with it as possible

Who, What, When, Where, Why??

Peer Editing: This is when you can have your peers look over your work. This helps improve many students work ethic.

Peer Evaluation is very similar to collaboration in the sense that everyone is working together to achieve a specific goal.

If you are going to use peer editing in the classroom, make sure your students are comfortable with their peers seeing their work first.

Trading papers with a friend to grade each others

Mashups: This takes different technology applications and information, and essentially mashes it all together into one thing to create new services. Ex: Using the website google.com to find a map. You can find various different information and different websites simply via google.

Mashups can be very similar to the semantic web because they both essentially deal with relationships among different things, and then putting them all together.

Google Maps

Collaboration: This essentially is combining different things together to achieve a common goal.

As a teacher, it is important to promote collaboration among your students via the web and in real life!

Ex: Ohio University's website is collaborative in the sense that it combines many different links and information about various things.

The Persuasive Web: A web that's everywhere. On your PC, cell phone, clothes, jewlery, etc. Ex: your bedroom windows can check the weather so you know whether or not to keep them open or closed.

The Persuasive Web can be a type of visual learning tool because it relates to the viewer's emotions

This can be basically anything! Ex: Your windows

MUVE: A virtual website where the user can pretend to be someone else over the web and be in a virtual environment.

MUVE can be a visual learning tool in the sense that it relates to the viewer's visual component.

This is very similar to a "false identity," because you are capable of pretending to be someone else over the web.

The Sims, Second Life, Neopets, etc.

Visual Learning Tools: Different ways to help student achievement. Students can learn from looking at relationships among things, or just helpful information found. It appeals to our important sense: sight. Ex: a periodic table or a pie chart.

Instructional videos

Facebook, twitter, skype, flickr, etc.

Semantic Web: A place where machines can read web pages much like humans do. (Ex: Siri)
