Web 2.0 Tools

There are two main types of sites on the internet. The first type has no interaction. This may be a news or information site where you read what is there and that is it. The second type of site allows for the user to have input into what is displayed. This could be the creation of a blog, a wiki, or even a type of training. These sites are not static, they can change or react depending on what the user wants the site to do. These sites are referred to as Web 2.0 sites. I will be listing a few of the tools that students may want to use to complete projects for their classes.
