What are Web Applications?
• Allow you to perform tasks or create objects without software.
• Often known as “Web 2.0” applications.
• Often have an element of social interaction.
• Accessible from anywhere.• Usually FREE!
Risks
• Applications go up and down.• Applications get bought out.• Applications may create thing that
can’t leave the confines of the particular web site (e.g./ can’t be downloaded to a disc/dvd/etc…)
• Students with computers at home may get to spend more time on projects than students without since it’s easily accessible.
A Note On Blocking
• EPSB and ECS block many Web 2.0 sites… you can get around this!!!
• Written request submitted to your technology department.
• Provide a rational, pedagogical justification for the site to be unblocked at YOUR school.
• Describe how you will keep students safe.
Range of Tools…

communication skills.• Consider enrichment• Consider special needs
