This document summarizes the work of a faculty learning community exploring the use of Web 2.0 tools in teaching. It describes several tools used across different courses, including wikis, Google Maps, podcasts, and social networking. It also shares results from surveys of students on the effectiveness of these tools in enhancing learning and engagement. The community aims to increase faculty adoption of Web 2.0 technologies and collaborative approaches to instruction.
