Web+2.0+Science+Class

=What is a Web 2.0 Science Class?=

A Web 2.0 Science Class is

 * a knowledge-oriented environment
 * a classroom where the students generate content by performing lab experiments, reading, research, and interacting with other students
 * a studio where students publish, manage, and use the knowledge they generate using Web 2.0 tools
 * uploading instead of downloading
 * a community of collaborators, co-teachers, and co-learners

In our Science class we use
Wikispaces
 * to share information with the rest of the class
 * to connect to meaningful sites on the Internet
 * to display our projects

VoiceThreads
 * to review material by describing pictures from class
 * to build language skills
 * to learn logical sequencing
 * to share our discoveries

Pageflakes
 * to organize research projects
 * to share information as we find it
 * to gather information from many sources through web feeds
