This document discusses the use of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom. It notes that Web 1.0 focused on content consumption while Web 2.0 enables content production. Web 2.0 tools can motivate students, make monitoring easier, encourage student content creation and participation. Using these tools is important for today's students and engaging with the tools ourselves is necessary to integrate them into teaching. Several specific Web 2.0 tools are mentioned, including Dropbox, Livebinder and blogging.
