Web 2.0 and 3.0 Tools

    Web tools allow students to create and develop unique demonstrations of their knowledge. No cookie cutter projects here! Web tools often incorporate higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy and the SAMR model of technology integration. With these tools, students will be engaged as they apply their knowledge to an authentic audience.


Each month, AoP Tech will add two more teacher tested, kid approved web tools (and their app companions) to our site. Be sure to check back often for new tools, or utilized the links at the bottom of the page to seek out more fantastic tools!
