== =Welcome to MPCSCD Web Tools Wiki!=

The purpose of this wiki is to share Web 2.0 tools that teachers can use to support and enhance their curriculum, and to present their students with the opportunity to use 21st Century skills in a controlled educational setting. The wiki is open to district staff to create postings sharing their experiences and comment on the postings of others. There are teachers in each building who have been using a variety of interactive sites and have much to share with us all.

Web 2.0 refers to a second generation of Internet sites that move beyond static webpages to more dynamic and shareable content and social networking. It is often referred to the "interactive web." It represents no real change in the technology, but rather a change in the way the technology is used. The Web becomes a platform which allows software applications to be run through a browser. Software is not installed nor is data saved on local computers or networks, but rather becomes accessible wherever users have access to a computer with Internet. Free and inexpensive applications for education are extensive and this wiki is a forum to explore these applications. Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and experiences.
