2. HOW IT IS HELPING
• Web 2.0 is helping to evolve classrooms.
• Classrooms are using iPads to make it easier for
students to complete their work on their schedule.
• Teachers have an easier time teaching since
students can keep in contact with them throughout
the course.
• Being more of a social network helps students to
keep in contact with people they are working on a
project done to get it done quicker.

3. HOW IT IS HURTING
• Web 2.0 is not helping in the following ways
• It is making kids lazier by sitting around and not
exactly being active, by being social with other kids.
• It makes it easier for kids to learn, but they only
learn exactly what they want to know and sometimes
when they read out of a book and the whole article
they can learn more.
• When using technological devices, such as iPads,
students could easily be distracted from their
homework and might be tempted to play with
different games or apps on the device.

4. IS MORE OF A HELP
• Web 2.0 is easily more of a help in my opinion.
• Students can interact with each other and teachers
to make it easier to finish their homework.
• Students could possibly work ahead if they already
know the current topic being learned.
• Web 2.0 is known for being more of a social
network, that makes it more simple for everyone to
keep in contact while working.
• The technology is evolving which will always make it
easier for schools to teach kids. New technology
can also grab the students interests, which makes
learning more enjoyable.

5. WEB 2.0 EXAMPLES
•Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and
Flickr are a few of the social sites that utilize what Web
2.0 holds. All of these sites are, in their own way, a
social media site.
