= WEB2.0 TOOLS REVISITED! = = =

You've already worked with Web2.0 tools and I'm sure you remember the three attributes:

1. They are free; 2. They are easy to use; and 3. They are collaborative in nature.

And, the three rules for using a tool are:

1. Create the account (username and password) 2. Populate it with content; and 3. Publish it.

So, you need to look at at your lessons / unit and augment/supplement your lessons with a ** three more Web2.0 tools and two more widgets **. The tools must be different and the widgets must be different. The tools must apply to your unit, but the widgets do not need to be related.

Remember, a widgets is a fun and useful tools to add to a wiki. Your Web2.0 tools must be used within the confines of a lesson (or two).

You may use any tools you have not used before. You may choose a tool from my collections OR you may choose a tool of your own finding. BUT, do not mistake a Web2.0 TOOL for a widget. You can access the previous Web2.0 page for ideas or here are a list of my favorite Web2.0 sites:

**HEY!** I used a tool called OnlyTwoClicks and made a BRAND NEW collection of NEW TOOLS I HAD NOT FOUND BEFORE THIS WEEK-- just for you: http://only2clicks.com/home.php?cat=399232 But remember, you can use a tool I found or you are welcome to use a tool you find on your own.

** WHEN YOU ARE DONE **: Send me an email when you are done telling me exactly where I can find your three new Web2.0 tools and your two new widgets.


 * NOTE **: remember that you have to complete 10 lesson plans. Ideally (no REALLY ideally) you want a technology product in each assignment, demonstrating that you can integrate technology in multiple ways throughout a unit of instruction. So, this week, you need to complete three Web2.0 tools. Look at your unit--how many lessons do you have? After this week, you only have ONE MORE assignment.
