Happy Web 2.0
Do you need help, resources or just some more information on how to integrate technology and web 2.0 tools into your classroom curriculum?

Help with how to use this site:
  • This site is built on a wiki. A wiki is a website that is editable. It is free to sign up for an account as an educator. Wiki's are useful for collaboration as well as compiling information to share with others. This wiki is by invitation only, and only people who have been invited can make edit's or contributions to the site. There is no need to know any HTML programming or any coding at all. It is point and click! (I even sent an email to them and they removed any of the advertisments - even though they were education related)
  • Across Top of Site - Use the buttons to take you to different parts of the wiki. You may want to start a discussion with another teacher, add photos to the photo gallery, or go to the members page to see who has signed up.
  • Left Side of Page: Wiki Pages - The pages are set up by category. If there is an arrow, click on the name of the page to bring up sub categories of that topic.
  • Page by Page - Each page will have an explanation of the information contained on it.
  • Highlighted words - The light blue highlighted words are links to other sites with more information about that topic, which may be blogs, websites, wiki's, etc.
  • Message - Please message me - Kim Tufts, with any suggestions or comments to help to make this wiki easy to use.

    Bonnie Bracey Sutton writes:

    Long ago, Martin Luther King addressed these problems: “There can be no gainsaying of the fact that a great revolution is taking place in the world today… that is, a technological revolution, with the impact of automation and cybernation . . . Now, whenever anything new comes into history it brings with it new challenges and new opportunities… [T]he geographical oneness of this age has come into being to a large extent through modern man’s scientific ingenuity. Modern man through his scientific genius has been able to dwarf distance and place time in chains… Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this.” That was Rev. Martin Luther King, March 31, 1968. We still have the problem of the lack of inclusion.
