Using Web 2.0 Tools in the K-12 Classroom

This book provides a wealth of information for all educators and their students.  Each chapter contains ideas, incite, lessons and experiences from teachers who have practiced Web 2.0 in their classrooms.  I think this is a tool all teachers should utilize in their classrooms because it shares a variety of ways to bring the web into the classroom.  After all, our students are hooked on their technological devices, the internet, social platforms and more and if we can find a way to connect their interests to teaching in the classroom, this is an excellent way to get the students engaged and interested in the material.

The book provides unit plans, activities, rubrics and breaks down into different subjects and grade level appropriate activities.  I see myself referring to this textbook in my future lesson planning as a Spanish teacher.  It will be a beneficial tool to have in creating lesson plans and activities for my students.  However, I have to keep in mind the fast paced changes in technology and how quickly one idea can be mastered by a more innovative and advanced technique or approach.
