Web 2.0 technologies that are useful are those that allow students and teachers to connect such as Edmodo. These tools allow instructors to successfully communicate with their students and update them on upcoming assignments or announcements. These tools also make it easy for students to look up necessary documents for class and turn in assignments online. This makes grading easier for the professor. More smiles, Less stress.
An interesting web 2.0 tool I would use I might use when teaching would be TED-Ed. TED-Ed is a site that allows teachers to create and share animated lessons online. These creative and interesting lessons grab children's attention. This site allows teachers to share their lessons with their students and gives them the ability to track their progress. When teaching kindergarten in the future I can use an animated TED-Ed lesson to teach my students concepts such as how plants grow. http://ed.ted.com/
From chapter 12, I believe that Cloud computing holds the biggest promise for education. Using the cloud allows educators to create documents and/or lesson plans and save them on the cloud. By doing this, educators can easily have access to their files online and can share them with other educators. This means that there will be no worries about losing/deleting a file or forgetting it on a junk drive. As a student, I tend to forgot to bring my laptop to class or to the library. This limits me from accessing important files. However, after getting a drop box account and a Microsoft Word Online account, I no longer need to worry about not having my work or laptop with me.
