__Web 2.0 Tools__

According to this link to wikipedia, "Web 2.0 is a loosely defined intersection of web application features that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design,[1] and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies."

This wiki is part of our Web 2.0 Tools and currently my favourite. This wiki will remain as my primary website for future professional development of which my tutorials on Python are only the beginning.

In addition, students in our courses were able to choose from a list of web 2.0 tools and present them to the rest of the class. While I was exposed to several different tools, I currently find the next most useful one after this wiki page to be Prezi. Prezi in a nutshell, is an alternative presentation tool. It centres around a "big picture" idea of presentations. Rather than separate distinct pages such as those found on other presentation tools such as Powerpoint, Prezi has one main canvas and zooms in and out and can twist around to different angles according to the user's preference. While I certainly would not want it as my primary presentation tool, it does spice things up a bit and definitely has it's place. Unfortunately a self contained Prezi file is too large to post on this wiki. It is worth exploring and I highly recommend this link to learn more.
