Web 2.0 Tool Recommendations for Teachers

The use of social media in education has become increasingly important. Teachers can facilitate discussion
of a specific topic on Facebook, share pictures of field trips on Instagram, obtain teaching material from Khan Academy, teach a foreign language through podcasting, or even report cases of plagiarism at smallseotools.com. This paper
addresses the challenges in educating “digital native” learners, and recommends Web 2.0 tools that can help educators better motivate and communicate with these students.
