ResearchSchools and teachers who are innovating in this area, report:

• Web 2.0 can be available anytime, anywhere, which encourages some individuals to extend their learning through further investigation into topics that interest them.

• Pupils feel a sense of ownership and engagement when they publish their work online and this can encourage attention to detail and an overall improved quality of work.

Benefits of Web 2.0 tools:

• Opportunities for learners to take more control of their learning and access their own customized information, resources, tools and services

• Encourage a wider range of expressive capability

• Facilitate more collaborative ways of working, community creation, dialogue and knowledge sharing

• Furnish a setting for learner achievements to attract an authentic audience.

Web 2.0 = engaging

Advice for selecting Web 2.0 tools:

• learning becomes independent of time, space, & place, the capacity for learning changes. Select tools based on instructional needs. –Ryan Bretag

• the tools have to be easy to use and easy to access. If it takes long to setup or involves many steps, I'm usually turned off – Helen Mowers
