Web 2.0 Tools are web-based applications that enable the sharing of rich media content with users that enables them to interact with these media tools and also include social interactions in the process.

b. What are some of the power of Web 2.0 tools? (What can be done now which cannot be achieved using traditional means)

1. Web 2.0 tools have the power to engage students with powerful animated graphics that engages them instantly - esp those made with flash software. 2. Student can respond to the information in these tools through interactive activities and postings their own comments. 3. Such tools also gives them instant feedback (be it feedback to inform them that their answers are incorrect, or to provide instant gratification when students find out they are correct). Many times during traditional lessons, students are left with self-doubts after a lesson or are required to wait for feedback from paper assessments.

d. My 2 Lesson Activities using the Web 2.0 tools.

Target Class: Sec 2NT Topic: Electricity Subtopics: - Electrical Components can be connected in series or parallel circuits - Sources of Electricity (power stations or batteries) - Conductors and Insulators

Introduction: [From Youtube] A class discussion on the items around them that requires electricty to run. How do these electricity appliances work? What are required in order for these appliances to work? What is the meaning of 'electric circuit' and 'electric supply'? The Light Bulb Students then can comment on the video in youtube.

Development: [From Scibermonkey] 1/ [|The Blobz Guide to Electric Circuits] 2/ [|Series and Parallel Circuits]

Further Research: [Using Diigo] Reading on Electricity - Also can discuss about how saving electricity is important - NE

Closure: To ask students some key questions to summarise online learning. - name some electrical components - the difference between series and parallel circuits and why household uses parallel circuits - sources of electricity - the difference between conductors and insulators Ask students to post one main take-away at [|Reflections]
