Web 2.0 tools are effective digital online tools available to both teachers and students. Web tools are no longer just research avenues to accessing information. Students are becoming active participants in their learning, collaborating with others and becoming global learners (An et al., 2006).

There are 3 types of webspace: Wikis / Weblogs / Webspaces

There are different types of multimedia tools: Audio / Video / Graphics / Texts / Animation

While undertaken the EDSE12024 Digital Pedagogies unit we were required to write a blog and set up a website. There is also a variety of multimedia tool embedded within these two links.

There are a few barrier to utilising web 2.0 tools.

Learning a new tool effectively. As a digital immigrant, I find technology slower to learn and incorporate into my studies. However a high school student may find it easier being a digital native.
Technology can have technical and internet connection errors
Online content for students needs to be safe utilised and securely accessed for their safety

Web 2.0 tools exploded into the market in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic as business and school tried to access their customers and stakeholders safely. Many new platforms immerged as old ones adapted to be more inclusive. There are still the old favourites that still work well like PowerPoint. Canva has worked well for me professionally, academically and personally. During 2020 it added on an extension for teachers and students to access free content that businesses have to pay premium for.
During 2021 I studied Digital Technologies and we had the opportunity to play with a variety of online tools.
