Module 1

Web 2.0 it's about learning new ways to socially interact via the internet, via Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Amazon, Wikipedia, etc.  It also gives you ways to bring information to you, rather than having to go and look for it, e.g. iGoogle.  Web2.0 is more interactive, you feel you are part of any communication or topic.

As a teacher I will be able to learning more interactive tactics to show my students.  It is more student centered especially for students who have access to their own computers.  Students have immediate access to different sites and can choose which space they go to find information.  Through web 2.0 students are able to share what they discover online by sharing through space like wikis, twitter or facebook.

After setting up iGoogle I realised I can have access to information that interests me in one location.  Due to work commitments I can foresee that iGoogle would help me save time.

Module 2

Blogs are about nonconventional news from people around the world who would want to share their ideas and experiences. It brings people from all around the world together even though they may not know each other. They can then socially interact on each others blog through comments.

I like the idea of having a blog of my own so I can interact with Special Needs teachers around the world since I am one myself. I think this blog will help me talk to more experienced teachers as how they cater for the needs of Special Need students they teach.

Being a Special Needs teacher means looking after students with so many different needs. This blog may take me a step further to work with my students from a different perspective. I can even see my students having a blog of their own in future, working individually  or as a group.
