1) A one-sentence definition (understanding/perspectives/beliefs/opinions are also fine) on Web 2.0 by each group member (What do YOU think Web 2.0 is?). Allison: Web 2.0 is a way to connect people anywhere with everything by the click of a mouse. It gives opportunities that were not possible 10 years ago.

Ashley: Web 2.0 is a way of sharing information and connecting people such as blogging and social networking.

Lisa: Web 2.0 is a great way to have people interact in a way that was not possible before.

2) One superb example of educational uses of these new tools on Web 2.0 in K-12 setting. You will work as a team, search internet, find and view a lot of class wikis created by others for their elementary and middles school classes, and then choose one that your group think is the best. You need to identify the content area (social studies, science, math, language arts...) and the grade level of the wiki you find. You also need to include a short paragraph describing why your group thinks this is a "superb" example.

After going through a variety of wiki pages we thought S. Ibrahim 2nd grade class page was "superb". Her class wiki page was not content specific but she added all the different subjects her class touches on in a day to day basis. Her page was fun, creative and interactive and we could see why her students like to go on and contribute to it. The pages links made it extremely easy to follow so whether this was your first time going on the page or your 20th there was no confusion on how to get to what you needed to see. All the pages were very informative and would help a student not fall behind if they missed a couple days of school. Overall her wiki is a great example and template for us to model our pages after.

3) A collection of resources - a minimum of 3 links (it can also be articles, resources about wiki) - on educational use of wikis, that you can use in your own teaching later.

4) A presentation to the class on what you have accomplished, and how you accomplished it.
