Using Web 2.0 for kids in elementary schools and middle schools can be useful, but also can be difficult to maintain. A lot of the information on Web 2.0 (wikis, blogs, video-sharing sites, etc) can have false information, and using this false information for projects and papers can be really confusing for the students (& the teachers!). As a teacher, I would try to avoid these sites for that reason.
Wikipedia is a main source in the Web 2.0 generation. Overall, I enjoy using Wikipedia for basic things, such as finding information on nutrition, history, etc. Unfortunately, I do not trust Wikipedia enough to use it for major papers and essays. A lot of the information found on Wikipedia is proven to be false and unreliable. As a learning source, I would not trust Wikipedia, especially when a grade is at stake.
Using power point will greatly help me as a teacher. It allows me to give presentations in front of my classroom. With big images and bold text, giving presentations can be a breeze. Also, power point can help relay information to students over the internet, especially if they are not present in class.
