Hello readers!
Here I am going to wrote about Education and Technology with 2.0 tools. we know that the Covid - 19 has hanged the view of education around the world. We can see that the role of technology in education is continuously expanding from projecters to smart boards and enabling better interaction between teachers and students in the classroom.
Introduction
Web 2.0 tools are free digital programs that can be used for creating and sharing student-generated projects and products. They are interactive, multi-purpose, easy-to-use digital platforms that encourage students to collaborate with each other or create and share individualized response products.
What is web 2.0 tools?
Web 2.0 is the term used to describe a variety of web sites and applications that allow anyone to create and share online information or material they have created. A key element of the technology is that it allows people to create, share, collaborate & communicate. Web 2.0 differs from other types of websites as it does not require any web design or publishing skills to participate, making it easy for people to create and publish or communicate their work to the world.
A Web 2.0 website allows users to interact and collaborate with each other through social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community. This contrasts the first generation of Web 1.0-era websites where people were limited to viewing content in a passive manner. Examples of Web 2.0 features include social networking sites.
Web 2.0 tools also provide students an opportunity to interact with others as they share their knowledge. Students can collaborate with classmates to create response products, or they can share completed products with peers in their class, students in other sections, or other learners around the world. Web 2.0 tools create opportunities for students to share what they are learning with a wider audience.
Here few web 2.0 tools which can be used in teaching L-S-R-W English Language.
1) WhatsApp
Whatsapp as a web tool is very useful for all four basic skills. We can develop listening, speaking, reading and writing through whatsapp features. Whatsapp gives very good feature for improving these skills. For instance our professor gives us reading task in whatsapp so through this we can improve our reading skill and also it gives the features of video sharing, video calling, voice recorder and we also write messages for writing skills.
2) blogger
A blog is a contraction of the words web log. Blogs usually provide commentary or information on a particular issue, event or topic. In some cases, blogs can be about a particular person; an online, public, personal diary. A blog is usually maintained by a single person or a small group of contributors. Visitors to the blog can comment on the entries made or respond to comments made by other visitors. Blogs are primarily text but can also be the form of photos or other images, sounds, or films.
Social Networking
Social networking allows an individual to create a profile for themselves on the service and share that profile with other users with similar interests to create a social network. Users can choose to have public profiles which can be viewed by anyone or private profiles which can only be viewed by people that the users allow. Users can usually post photographs, music and videos on their site. Popular social network services include Facebook www.facebook.com and MySpace
Here in this tools are very important to technology or education.
