This document discusses using Web 2.0 technologies like blogs, wikis, Google Docs, and Google Calendar in the classroom to better engage students and prepare them for the workforce, as these are technologies students are familiar with. It provides examples of how each technology could be used, like using blogs for announcements, Google Docs for collaboration, and Google Calendar for organization. It acknowledges fears that teachers may have about changing their teaching methods but encourages continuing to learn more about instructional technologies and finding ways to integrate Web 2.0 tools into class projects with help from colleagues.
