Web 2.0 Resources are online resources that students can utilize to not only learn about a topic, but also demonstrate knowledge of a topic through a creative outlet. The use of Web 2.0 Resources also allows teachers to create another modality to accommodate various learning styles within a class in an interesting and engaging manner. Along with games, activities, and opportunities to create something, Web 2.0 resources include blogs and other helpful tools for teachers and parents. My favorite Web 2.0 Resource was //delicious//, a social bookmark site. This site allowed me to document and save numerous websites in which I found lesson plans, activities, news about education, as well as blogs related to the field of special education. //Delicious// was easy to navigate and had a toolbar link within the browser that allowed for easy saving.

Activity Wiki

The activity wiki I created invited students to learn more about geometric shapes. Through the wiki, students explored geometric shapes in the world around them, listened to songs about the shapes, and had access to games about geometry. In addition, students had an interactive activity in which they had to complete and load to the Wiki. This activity involved students creating their own shape transformation using an online Geoboard.
