What areas do you think you are already using Web 2.0 technologies? Web
3.0 technologies? Give an example of each and indicate how often you use
them, whether they are professional tools or personal tools.
The biggest area that I am already using Web 2.0 technologies is with blogs. Having students be able to go on and comment on posts, or questions, or recordings (which are used a lot in the music classroom). Students can comment on performances and further their own musicality by finding mistakes in recordings or coming up with ways that it can be made better. The only Web 3.0 technologies that I can think of that I use would be Pandora. Pandora allows you to go online and create a music station with an artist or song or genre and then it forms a station based on what you say you like or don't like. I would like to use more Web 3.0 technologies as they become more available.
A 2.0 technology that I use regularly is Pinterest. I use Pinterest personally and as a professional tool to find ideas for my classroom. It is basically a virtual pin board of varies blogs and websites. You can browse, search, comment, and repin links to your own boards. In addition, you can create shared boards, where many people can contribute links and comments. An example of a Web 3.0 technology that I use would be Pandora as well. I use this technology often in classroom during studio time when students are working independently on their artwork. Pandora creates music stations based off a certain genre, artist, or song of your chose and then you can dislike or like songs that play. This allows Pandora to learn what type of music you enjoy.
The Web 2.0 technologies that I use include Wikispaces, Pinterest, YouTube and blogs. The blogs that I subscribe to are both for personal use and professional use. The combination of Pinterest and blogs has definitely helped me to be more creative with my first grade students. The Wikispace website I created was for a Professional Development course I taught in my district and gave others a chance to post their input as well. I use YouTube in my classroom as it helps me to incorporate more songs and visual/audio tools to teach my students things like math facts and the days of the week. Like my peers, I think Pandora is the only example of Web 3.0 that I use. I’m not really familiar with many other examples but am willing to explore to see what is out there. I don’t use Pandora in my classroom only because there are commercials and these are very distracting to six and seven year olds when trying to use it as calm background music when they are writing. I do use the Kids Songs category for “Brain Breaks” for my students but I usually like to know what song will come on.
I am an Instructional Designer and the Web 2.0 technologies that I use at work are Wikis, Podcasts and Blogs.I integrate blogs and wikis with my Learning management System which allow collaborative learning for users as learners can edit and share web content and reflect their views through blogs. I use podcasts in mobile learning for senior level employees's training which allow my learners to download PPT files/audio/video files to their Ipods. I feel The impact of Web 2.0 services and technologies on education is profound.
I use various Web 2 technologies for my personal use that include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Delicious etc.
Although I am aware of the emergence of Web 3 technologies, I am yet to use them in my profession but I am certainly interested to learn and use them with time. The only Web 3 technology I use is Internet on TV (Netflix and Pandora).
The Web 2.0 technologies which are use are Pinterest, Facebook, and YouTube. I use Pinterest and YouTube primarily for my classroom. I often use video clips from YouTube when I'm introducing a new science topic, and I love to get different ideas for lessons and classroom organization from Pinterest. The only Web 3.0 technology I occasionally use is Pandora. However, I don't use Pandora in my classroom, I use that more during my personal time.
The Web 2.0 technologies that I use at work include: You Tube (especially for science and social studies lessons), Smart Exchange(which is a collection of lessons designed in Smart Notebook, where teachers upload lessons that can be easily downloaded) , Boardmaker Share (where you can upload and download activities and boards in Boardmaker), blogs ( our classroom has a blog where we upload pictures, schedules so that the parents can stay updated and post comment) and Facebook. I also use Facebook and You Tube at home to stay in touch with friends; I use eBay to shop, sell, and post comments. As for Web 3.0 technologies I use Pandora both at work and at home.
The Web 2.0 tool I used the most is by far Youtube. I have learned to depend on it for instructional purposes in the classroom as well as in my personal life. I like to find videos about the topics I cover in the classroom and direct my students to them to obtain additional information, they in turn watch the videos and select new ones from there that lead them to other areas of interest, which might be different from each other, making it a more personalized experience. In my personal life, I find myself reading the news and going back to youtube to get more in depth information about the story I am reading, or searching for multiple points of view or opinions. Even in a conversation with friends or family members I find myself referring to youtube to corroborate or confirm a statement. In order to avoid erroneous information or offensive material I try to search within trustworthy sources. I used to be a very active Facebook user but I got turned off by the amount of unnecessary and useless content with which I was bombarded daily. I am also a fan of podcasts which I love because of their "on demand" nature which I can access whenever I want and give me the flexibility to listen to anywhere and anytime.
In terms of Web 3.0 tools I also use Pandora, although I find it to be repetitive and predictable. For music I now access an infinite number of radio stations of all genres and from all over the world through Tune In radio; I feel that there is greater variety and gives me more control. I have also noticed that my son's xbox is very intuitive and it seems to identify his gaming preferences.
I currently use Web 2.0 on a daily basis to interact with my peers and colleagues. Twitter has also been a large Web 2.0 phenemonon as more and more people around the world are connecting and sharing. Another way I have used Web 2.0 is by using Skype with people around the world. According to the article, “How Web 3.0 Will Work”, “As you search the Web, the browser learns what you are interested in. The more you use the Web, the more your browser learns about you and the less specific you'll need to be with your questions.” One example of how I use Web 3.0 technology is when I check my Iphone in the morning and it gives me an update on how long it will take for me to get Waldwick, where I work. The phone remarkably knows where I go in the morning, and gives me updates after work about how long it will take me to get to my usual destination. My phone knows my habits, where I am and where I will most likely be going.
