Interactive Web-Based Tools for Teaching
"The term "Web 2.0" refers to a perceived second generation of web development and design, that aims to facilitate communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications; such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies." (Wikipedia reference.). Google docs are Web 2.0 resources with great potential for enhancing cooperative projects in the science classroom. Create a Google Account.
