=** Web 2.0 Technology Tools Investigation (50 Points) **=

Web 2.0 is about revolutionary new ways of creating, collaborating, editing and sharing user-generated content online. Take some time to explore the many useful Web 2.0 tools that are available on the web. I am providing a few sites to get you started but you are not limted to them. [] [] [] Claim the web 2.0 technology tool you want to investigate by creating a new page for the tool on our class wiki. On your new page, add a hyperlink from your new page to the main page and vice versa. Then, over the next week, investigate your tool. Your completed investigation is due at the end of Week 2.

On your wiki page, include the following: > Finally, after the initial investigation, we will collaborate. Read two wiki pages created by classmates. Add to or edit the pages to improve the content or place notes at the bottom of the page with suggestions. Please make your notes and suggestions in a different color and make sure you add your name to the end. Note: You may need to do some research before you can contribute to the page. The collaboration is due at the end of Week 3.
 * 1) A description of the technology tool.
 * 2) A link to a sample of the technology tool that you have created.
 * 3) An outline of a lesson plan giving readers suggestions of how they might use this tool in the classroom setting

** Join Class Wiki, Claim your Web Tool & Create new pages on the class wiki (5 Points) **

 * 1) =====Click "Join" in the top right corner so that I can give you access to our Wiki. Once you do this you will need to wait for me to give you access. I check on requests often, however, you might want to give me a few hours in case I’m in the middle of something. =====
 * 2) =====Once you have access click "Create new page" at the top of the workspace- Type "Your Name and the Web 2.0 Tool" (example: Lori Falcon’s Animoto Page) into the page title and click "Create new page"- Once you type something on the page (anything! It's ok!), click "Save" =====

To navigate from one page to another, you'll want to link pages together. (Unlinked pages are called "orphans," and that's no fun.)

 * 1) =====Go to the main page of the class wiki and click "Edit" =====
 * 2) =====Type "Your Name and the Web 2.0 Tool you Choose". Example Lori Falcon's Animoto Page below the information on the project. =====
 * 3) =====Select the text and click the "Insert link" button (the world icon on your tool bar) =====
 * 4) =====<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Choose "Link to a page" and locate the page you just created (example: Lori Falcon’s Animoto Page.) =====
 * 5) =====<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Once you click "Ok" and "Save," you'll see that your page now links to your Web 2.0 tool. Make sure to add a link from your page back to the main page too. =====

Here is a webpage where you can easily find your answers to questions about the Wiki--such as, "How do I add a new page?" etc.
