Web 2.0 is a category of new Internet tools and technologies created around the idea that the people who consume media, access the Internet, and use the Web shouldn't passively absorb what's available; rather, they should be active contributors, helping customize media and technology for their own purposes, as well as those of their communities. Web 2.0 isn't just the latest set of toys for geeks, it's the beginning of a new era in technology — one that promises to help nonprofits operate more efficiently, generate more funding, and affect more lives.These new tools include, but are by no means limited to, blogs, social networking applications, RSS, social networking tools, and wikis (techsoup.com).
 * About **

Most high school students already use web 2.0 (Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, YouTube etc...) and are quite savy when it comes to uploading, downloading, and creating content for the web. I created this wiki to integrate the principles of web 2.0 into the course to enhance the students' learning experiences. Students will use this wiki to: contribute to class discussions, post homework assignments, collaborate on class projects, study for tests, and access class resources and information. Parents can use this wiki to keep track of what is going on in class.
