Published in the Turkish Online Journal of Distance Learning, the article discusses
21st Century Skills, Web 2.0 tools, and the author's experience with several of them.
The article also briefly discusses the virtues of each tool, contains a list of several
suggested tools, and how they can be used to better instruct students. Among the tools
discussed are discussion forums, group blogs, project-based learning environments,
wikis, and more.

Evaluation:

This is a great, short article talking about Web 2.0 technologies that can help
transform a teacher's classroom from a traditional lecturing facility to a more
collaborative space. Specific tools are mentioned that any teacher can immediately
download, try for themselves, and see if it fits with their teaching goals. Overall,
this is a good article to introduce newcomers to the concepts of 21st Century Skills
and Web 2.0.
