Classroom 2.0 [Tara Milliken]







One of the coolest discoveries I've made while searching for technology in education this quarter is the online social network called Classroom 2.0. This site is for those interested in Web 2.0 and collaborative technologies in education. Basically, this network is full of teachers and tech support volunteers who are there to assist everyone from beginners to the most advanced on how to integrate technology into their classroom. It is focused primarily on beginners, as many teachers today are still struggling to convert to the digital age. Classroom 2.0 includes messaging forums, blogging, etc. And, one of the coolest features is that this website can be translated into eleven different languages by simply clicking a button, making it accessible all over the world! It also has published information or links to a variety of conferences or seminars available to teachers regarding technology. So, whether an educator is just starting out or if they simply want to remain in the know about what's new, Classroom 2.0 is a wonderful resource for teachers everywhere!
