During this unit, I will demonstrate different web 2.0 technologies. Students will be able to try out the technologies modeled by the teacher during computer lab and during allotted class time. Any new technology that I learn will be modeled for students. I will show students how to join this class wiki and model how to post and edit relevant class work. A letter will go home to parents on paper as well as an email, to let them know what we are working on in class. Parents will be aware of the end of unit project and are encouraged to help students. Parents are also encouraged to join our class wiki so they can keep track of their students progress and participation.
