In this Thing we talk about the pedagogy using Web 2.0 tools and beyond. We share some resources about Web 2.0 tools. What are Web 2.0 tools? Web 2.0 tools are online software and web-based services that let users create, collaborate, edit and share content online. Believe it or not, you have already been using Web 2.0 tools: creating an online blog (Thing 4), writing in the cloud (Thing 6, 7 and 8) and creating your own digital resource (Thing 9, 10, 11 and 12). Pedagogy for Web 2.0 tools As you plan how to use digital tools to enhance and improve students’ learning, Dr Ruben Puentedura’s SAMR model is helpful. Teachers need to consider how, why and when we use digital tools in the classroom. As digital tools open up opportunities for new ways of teaching and learning, what other skills do we need to teach?

I thought it would a good subject for another “The Best…” list. In order to make this list, it had to be available free-of-charge, be accessible to English Language Learners, and not require any downloads of any kind. Here are my choices for The Best Applications For Annotating Websites (not in order of preference): A.nnotate is the newest addition to this list. Rooh It!
