Your Assignment
How can you use Web 2.0 resources in your teaching? Choose one of the resources we have investigated during the past two days and write a short paragraph describing how you will or could use the resource in your teaching. Also, develop a product (either a teacher generated or an example student generated) using the resource. Email the assignment to Bob by Thursday, July 2.
Thanks for working with me for these two class periods. Have a great summer and a super school year.
