software.
Often known as “Web 2.0” applications.
Often have an element of social interaction.
Accessible from anywhere.
Usually FREE!
Risks
 Applications go up and down.
 Applications get bought out.
 Web applications sometimes allow students to
interact with other people online. Most tools have
privacy settings to keep minors safe.
 Students’ privacy should
be considered. Some tools
can be completely private,
but others not.
Risks
 Applications may create thing
that can’t leave the confines of the particular web site
(e.g./ can’t be downloaded to a disc/dvd/etc…)
 Students with computers at home may get to spend
more time on projects than students without since
it’s easily accessible.
A Note On Blocking
 Some Web 2.0 sites may be blocked at your school…
you can sometimes get around this.
 Submit a request
to your technology
department.
 Provide a pedagogical
justification for the site to be
unblocked at your school during
a certain period of time.
 Describe how you will keep students safe.
