Week 3 "Web 2.0"

In today's society people spend most of their time using their applications that they have downloaded onto their phone, ipod or computers. Applications are readily available for almost everything a person can think of. Not feeling like cooking one night there are applications that will allow you to find a restaurant nearby that will please all of your taste buds and help you make decisions based on customer reviews or nutritional content. Since I am very indecisive when it comes to picking where to eat this is a great application for myself. For a person who rarely walks out of my apartment without my ipod or phone these apps come in handy very often.

I am an Education major with the dream of working in a Kindergarten classroom. I found some interesting apps that I will want to incorporate into my classroom curriculum. There are applications for students to get help with homework and others to help them study by generating flash-cards that will allow repetition that way they can memorize the terms they need to in order to pass their test. There are also games that embrace the fundamental subjects while keeping kids engaged that way they do not see it as a boring subject that they have to complete for a grade.

This website is a great site that allows students to learn outside of the classroom walls while incorporating some structure. The fun games make learning more appealing to students making them want to learn more.
