The document discusses implementing new Web 2.0 technologies like wikis, blogs, and online collaborative writing tools in a classroom to improve students' writing and online literacy. The teacher found that using these technologies over a semester positively impacted students' writing by giving them a large audience and access to peer writing, and increased motivation through collaboration. Students needed support to fully connect to the technologies, but enjoyed the opportunities and wanted to continue blogging in future classes to expand the classroom community beyond physical walls.
