Why we worry…
• About 55% of online teens have created a personal profile online and use social networking sites once a day or more
• About 65% of teens who have created a profile say their profile is not visible to all internet users
• Few teens understand how to properly judge, review and cite online resources
• Schools are regularly placed in the position to monitor and secure teen online access
Web 2.0 Tools
• Web 2.0 tools are innovations that evolved during the last decade. Web 3.0, sometimes referred to as the Semantic Web, a Web of data is beginning to emerge.
• Users interact and collaborate in social media dialogue • Creators of user-generated information in a virtual
community, in contrast previous web-based tools such as websites, where users are limited to the passive viewing of content
Web 2.0 Categories
• Teacher-generated online content (e.g., teacher developed multimedia presentations, lesson plans, student hand-outs for classroom activities, sets of links to digital resources),
• Online social networking included as part of instruction (e.g., email, text messages for educational purposes, Facebook),
• Online learning games and simulations (e.g., online drill and practice games, multi- player simulations, Second Life type environments),
• Student learning via virtual learning environments (e.g., courses, electronic tutors)
• Multimedia resources (e.g., podcasts and videocasts, streaming video),• Online communication with parents and students outside school hours.

• Students developing multi-modal literacy, embracing collaboration, making connections, allowing for creativity
• The popular term of “digital literacy” includes the skills, expectations and perspectives involved in living in this technological society.
What does the research say
• Still “newer” - research into the roles of Web2.0 tools in student learning is still in its infancy.
• There are significant findings (e.g., Murphy & Lebans, 2008; Odom, 2010; Vaughan, 2010; Williams & Chinn, 2010) in the roles that Web2.0 tools play in engagement, higher order thinking and engagement
