Web 2.0 Tools

Learning about Web 2.0 Tools is a good idea for this class. They are great resources: free and easy to use and easy to apply across any classroom. I recently used Wordle in one of my tutoring sessions. My student, Eduardo, had done a research paper and I copy/ pasted his essay into Wordle to assess his word use. The largest word (which is also the most used) was "I." Knowing that, I encouraged him to construct sentences in different ways to cut down on overused words. It was a fast, easy way to see his word usage very clearly. I was happy to have been assigned the Wordle presentation because I got to use it so quickly.
