Web 2.0 Lessons

I would use ToonDoo to create a lesson that would help with language development. In my field of special education, I may have students that are delayed in language skills. My students can use this web 2.0 tool to create their own cartoon to write a story, tell me about their day, or summarize a book that they are reading in their language arts class. It is also a fun and interactive way to make a social story for a student who has a behavior that needs to be addressed. The student and I would work together to create a comic that would demonstrate the appopriate way to behave in a certain situation.

Another great web 2.0 tool is Quizlet. I can use quizlet to introduce my student to new vocabulary words. I would create flashcards with the new words that I could use to quiz the student or have the student quiz him or herself independently. I could also add pictures to the flashcards that could help cue the student on the definition. Quizlet would also allow the student to hear the vocabulary word and would then have to practice spelling the word. I could use Quizlet to create practice quizzes or have the student practice the words independently.
