WebLog 4

The first Web 2.0 app I found to use is called Zotero. It is a way to successfully use online resources. Zotero cites the web sources you use and has its own interface so you can file all of the pages you have visited. It saves pdf files as well so that you can take notes on the reading and highlight important information and quotes. The beauty of it is that it will cite the source for you whether it be APA or MLA citations.

The second Web 2.0 app I found is WiZiQ. This app allows for a teacher to student based form of communication. With WiZiQ the teacher can schedule private online classes with your students. You can also schedule public online classes that other teachers and learners can see. All the classes that are given are automatically recorded to that they can be accessed again by students. The virtual classroom is my favorite part. With WiZiQ's virtual classroom you can communicate with your students by audio, video, or text chat. You can also share documents, powerpoints, and whiteboards.

The third Web 2.0 app I found is Quizlet. It is an online way to make flash cards and to have students quiz themselves. The computer will all do it for each student automatically.

The fourth Web 2.0 app that I will use is Engrade. It can be accesses by students and teachers and is a way for teachers to record the grades of their classroom and then for the students to see what their grades are.

The fifth Web 2.0 app I found is wiggio. Wiggio is a way to keep the class organized. It allows you to keep a shared calendar of a group and will also send important reminders via text message to the members of the group.
