In creating a paper on Web 2.0 tools, I doscovered a whole new world of technology and tools to use and integrate into the classroom. There really should be no excuse for any teacher to say that they cannot "do technology", because of the toolsthey have now, and the yare more and more simple. In my job of dealing with children in special education, it can be difficult to find certain tools and equipment to use with the children. But i have found many tools to use thanks to the web and BLOGs, wikispaces and numerous other websites out there that share their information and want to help. There is a GREAT lego website that can be used in my classroom as a reward for those that are keeping on track and doing their work. In my line of work, children with autism are so drawn to music and the consistnacy that beats in music have. There is a web site that can be used in any area of study in a classroom that is so adaptive to whatever age group you may have if ther are students with an intrest in music. The web site is http://creatingmusic.com , is is wonderful!! There are many other websites out there as well for educators to use. And in getting out there and looking you will be amazed what you can find. Again, blogger isa great tool, as well as, pageflakes, and any other educational website. Check them out and always be willing to share your information. You are not only helping out a teacher but you are benefitting to the success of the student.
