2. Brain Break: Wheel of Names: EDEL 446-01 // EDEL 446-02
   
   
3. Web 2.0 tools are web-based and let you create something (video, image, blog post, snapchat photo, website, slidedeck, document, online timeline or graph) by accessing the tool directly from the internet.
   
   
4. Google is a key source of web 2.0 tools including docs, sheets, forms, etc. Google Sites is also a web 2.0 tool and you're using it because you can use the tool to make a website with your own ideas and content and share with the world.
• Cloud-based access via the internet
• Can require sign up or not
• User created content
• Allows for sharing via a link (in the cloud) or a download
  
  
5. Let's take a look at some curricular standards with a couple of these tools in mind:
   

NC SCoS Math: Measurement . Data Look at the range of grades and subject areas that have a standard related to data displays. How might your subject area and grade level use this tool? Create a Graph: Data displays http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/ We'll use your favorite animal data from Tuesday.
