Over the past five or so years, you have probably heard the terms blogs, podcasts, rss, wiki, and a host of others. You may have colleagues that have used one or more of these Web 2.0 tools in their classrooms, but you, yourself are still not quite sure what they are, or you may not be sure how they are used in classrooms. Below are some videos created by Common Craft that help to explain these tools in "Plain English". Take a look at some of these videos. If you are interested in using any of these within your classroom, please let me know and I would be happy to assist you. Enjoy!
