Web 2.0 has made a huge impact in education. There are many different web tools that allow consumers to share information with each other that impacts education.
The first tool that came to mind is ratemyprofessor.com, This is a site were students can rate and review professors. Students can review professors before registering for a specific course. Reviews often times include whether or not they believe a specific professor is a good teacher, how difficult the professor may be, and how much homework the professor normally gives. This allows students use social networking to get to know more about their professors, and get useful information about them before they register for a class.
Discussion boards impact the learning process greatly. There are countless of different tools that can be used for discussions such as Moodle, Facebook, Gmail, Blackboard, and many more. This allows consumers to collaborate and share ideas to enhance learning. People may discuss and share about a certain class, assignments, or even learning materials. A discussion board is great to avenue to get informed rather than getting informed through the main source or provider. Web 2.0 had changed and is continuing to change the face of education!
