 * My Web 2.0 paper was about learning about several web tools that I could use in my teaching. They consisted of:


 * This activity was exciting because it was the first actual point of the class in which I learned all about the technological tools/resources available to me as a teacher. I never had any idea how many were out there! It's kind of disappointing because I'm sure so many teachers know about these tools out there but never actually use them when teaching. There's really no excuse for it because most of them are free!


 * I am really excited to use these tools and others when teaching. I really have a passion for teaching and these tools fuel my passion to help students learn and do well. The world needs more dedicated and hard-working teachers!
