Beyond social networks, blogs and wikis, Web 2.0: Hot Applications and
Cool Projects motivates and inspires students by using free web-based
applications to instantly create and publish media-rich content directly
to the web while keeping the focus on relevant curriculum. Using tools
to build dynamic slide shows, digital scrapbooks, interactive flash
books, instant web notes, animated avatars, and real-time collaboration,
students evaluate, assimilate, and analyze language arts concepts using
21st-century skills. These free web applications transform the way
students feel about language arts, giving them a channel for their
creativity, and a voice in their own learning and discovery.
