2. Web 2.0 Tools
Students today need to have the ability to learn and adapt to new
media. With this it is equally important to develop critical thinking
skills to have the ability to digest, select and aggregate content
appropriately — whether uploaded or downloaded from the Internet.
Some examples are listed below:
•Greater Collaboration,

3. Web 2.0: Presentation Tools
With Web 2.0 there is a whole new dimension to the ability of
"show, don't tell"— you are able to share presentations
anytime, anywhere, with anyone you like.
Another advantage to using Web 2.0 presentation tools, you
can push the boundaries of traditional presentations, mix
things up, and make learning more engaging.
