I read about what Web 2.0 was and I found it confusing to understand. I do not think I would use in in K-12 education. It says the government uses it and it is used in higher education such as the university level. The world wide web is very popular and Web 2.0 is a continuation of WWW. I would not use it in my classroom because I do not feel well enough educated on the product.
Wikipedia is a great source when looking up common knowledge or something that cannot be easily mistaken. Anyone can create and edit information so it is definitely not a good source when doing a research paper or project. If you want to know the birthdate of a President or the habitat of a lion it will provide this information but it is always important to double check the answer no matter the source.
Powerpoint will be very useful in my educational career. It is a great tool to create presentations for the class and also when purposing an idea to your boss. Information is neatly organized and you can also be creative with the program. It is a great way to present notes to students because they can copy your bullets off the slides and they can follow along with you as you teach. Students can use Powerpoint as well to do projects so it can be a lesson taught in class. Powerpoint can be interactive learning. You can incorporate video clips and pictures that will enhance your lesson. As long as the images are not distracting and sway from the lesson, they are a great tool to amplify the presentation.
