Web+2.0+Tools


 * __Set 2 Rankings:__**

- This website is extremely useful as a teaching tool. The website allows students and teachers to share PowerPoint slides and ideas that greatly aid in communication and collaboration. These slides effectively give everyone examples and ideas of how to create and format their own PowerPoints.
 * __1) Slideshare__**

- This website is the second most effective of this set. the website allows students and teachers to look at poll rankings and statistics for the effectiveness of different products, teaching methods, and basically anything that can be ranked. Teachers and students can use this website to make choices with a little more background they have recioeved from a variety of different users.
 * __2) Poll Everywhere__**

- This website is not quite as effective as the other learning tools. While the site is a social networking site and allows teachers and students to communicate, it also does not have the most useful content. Students create their own cartoons related to what they are learning in the classroom. However, the site seems that it would be more useful and interesting to younger students, while high school level students may find it somewhat childish.

- This website is somewhat useful in that it allows teachers and students to communicate through their personal blogs. Students and teachers can learn from other blogs and comment or note things on seperate pages as well. However, the conten of the blogs are from an extremely large bank of knowledge areas. Some of the blogs are related to information that can't be used effectively to teach inj the classroom.
 * __4) Class BlogMeister:__**

- This website was an obvious choice for the least effective tool. While the content of this website is interesting, what you can do on the website is not extremely useful. Students can create very artistic word clouds and post their work. While this website may be useful for some art courses, the things you can do on this website would not be very helpful for a teacher and student in the classroom.
