There are lots of different web 2.0 tools available for teachers.   Your task in this webquest is to learn about wikis and blogs and how they can be used in the classroom.   You will learn about wikis and blogs, research ideas for classroom use, and finally create your own!

Before we begin, lets look at the definition of web 2.0.  Wikipedia defines Web 2.0 as:

The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies.
