Web 2.0 Technologies for Communities of Practice primarily focus on Wikis, Blogs, and Podcasts, which shouldn't be surprising if you think about it. Students and teachers can participate and learn from each other in these global technologies, connecting with peers and peoples with whom they would never have met, without Web 2.0. Assignments can be created by multiple parties, allowing for collaboration, edited by a group of peers, and presented with multiple presentation tools. Wikis, Blogs, and Podcasts are perfect examples of Communities of Practice.
As with any Web 2.0 Tool, Wiki's, Blogs, and Podcasts are best utilized when other tools are incorporated into the format of presentation. Online videos, such as youtube.com, graphic organizers, like prezi presentations and slideshows (see above), and community journals can add to the global experience as each member of the community provides their impute and ideas. This collaboration is quite possible the most important aspect of Web 2.0, allowing people to share ideas and work together in timely, effective manner, held at their own pace. Furthermore, we know it works as this blog has brought our group closer together through collaboration, multiple Web 2.0 tools, and shared discussion and assignments. We are living proof of Web 2.0 Tools insuring Communities of Practice.
