Web 2.0 tools are free web based tools that anyone can have access to such as twitter, glogster, picnik, smilebox, and wordle as well as many more. The best things about these tools is that they are easy for anyone to access and learn how to use. I could see how many of these tools could be used in the classroom for projects or for a teachers instruction. With many of these tools such as glogster you can have students easily make presentations without having to spend money on making a tri-fold presentation board.
My favorite of the 2.0 tools that I have learned about so far is Wordle. Which is a program that allows you to put in a bunch of words that are similar to each other (or not) and it creates a word bubble connecting all of them. It's a good tool to use as a introduction slide on a powerpoint presentation or wiki.
