Review Web 2.0 Tools



  1.   Choose a tool that could be used in the classroom. 
    1. Schoology
  2.   Describe the tool.
    1. Schoology is a free web-based learning management system (LMS) built on a social network. Schoology leverages the familiarity of popular social media tools to improve communication and collaboration.
  3.   What content area would you use the tool?
    1. I would use Schoology to introduce technology into the classroom. You can create online quizzes, which may be a fun activity for the whole class to do, and you can participate in online discussions. You can also create an entire class online and have a virtual session.
  4.   Briefly describe a lesson in which you would implement the tool.
    1. I would create an online course and have everyone participate in the online course as if it were separate from the actual class. I think it would be fun to have students participate in a virtual course.
  5.   What do you need to consider before using the tool in a classroom?
    1. Privacy settings would be my biggest worry. I couldn't find too much information on if what you post can be marked as private or not.
