0 Tools to Support Collaborative learning

***PLEASE READ***
*** Each student presented their web 2.0 tool following the format of this worksheet as a guideline
so that all proper material was covered. Following the Pros/Cons section, we collaborated on each
peer’s idea to refine it to give a realistic outlook of each web tool and how it is or is not effective in
our field of study. Each person independently filled out their sections, but all content was covered
and shared for future uses.***
