Web 2.0 Resources
This Web 2.0 is called a Glogster. A "glog" is basically a multi-based media power point. This glog is based on a lesson on Context Clues for a remediation class that I teach. The glog is embedded below.

An Animoto is a video based power point. It allows the user to present texts, pictures, and video at a high quality. The Animoto that I created is also based on a lesson on Context Clues. The slideshow is embedded below.
Make a video of your own at Animoto.
Here are two games from classtools.net that I made for Context Clues!

Connections to the Text
The evolution of technology has seemed to have happened at the speed of sound. Being always connected to our smart phones and tablets has led to rapid developments in communication characteristics. We are now at a point in our society where constant communication and connection to the Internet is simply ubiquitous. "This ubiquitous use of technology has given new life of education in the form of distance education"(Roblyer, M.D., Doering, A.H., pg. 205). Although the term Web 2.0, an Internet trend that puts the authorship of online content into the hands of websites' users, has become very common in educational circles, what educators are hearing more about today are discussions around social networking. Developing web based lessons has become an excellent way for both teachers and students to learn the power of the Internet. These resources are not only easily accessed, the majority of them, related to education are available at no charge to the student, teacher, or school district. This makes them very appealing. Only a few years ago, web pages could not be developed without program authoring languages and scripting tools. This is no longer the case.

Final Thoughts on using Web 2.0 Resources
Once I was familiar with the use and practicality of the media resources, I would certainly use them in my classroom. Prior to being exposed to these resources, I could gather enough material and information for a lesson in approximately forty-five minutes to an hour. After the initial "trial and error" of putting together the same type of material, this time in a technological format, I could easily find the benefits of multiple uses. In other words, I could easily see that the benefits outweigh the initial time it takes to put the lessons into a technological format. I look forward to utilizing multi-media in the future.
