Angela GisiAnnie PowellAmy WestWhy Web 2.0 in the classroom?Web 2.0 tools can promote user participation and knowledge production and thus fit well with social constructivist pedagogical theories. These tools have the potential to transform classes from teacher-centric, transmission instruction to social constructivist, student-participatory approaches, from individual-focused pedagogies to learning community approaches.quoted from:Rosen, D., & Nelson, C. (2008). Web 2.0: a new generation . of learners and education. Computers in the Schools, . . 25(3-4), 211-225.
