3.2: What is Web 2.0 Really?
The term Web 2.0 is being thrown around as the newest and best thing around on the Internet, but what is it really? How would you define Web 2.0? How is Web 2.0 different from what was done before? Is it the same as Cloud Computing? How is the difference between the terms Web 2.0 and Software as a Service (SaaS)? And the most important thing to consider: What role can all these terms and software applications play in education?


 * Task Definition**
 * 1) Research the terms: Web 1.0, Web 2.0, Cloud Computing, Software as a Service (SaaS), Apps and Widgets.
 * 2) Develop definitions for each term.
 * 3) Determine the similarities, differences, and relationships between each of the terms.
 * 4) Find examples of each term that would be applicable in the educational classroom.
 * 5) Create a graphic organizer, table or mindmap that illustrates what these terms mean; the similarities, differences, and relationships between them all; and educational applications. Post your product to the table below.

3.3: Exploring and Creating with Google Calendar and Forms
Google Calendar is a powerful tool that can be used to display important district/school events, homework, field trips, etc. You can choose to keep your calendar private, you can share it, or it can be embedded onto your Google Site. For this activity, you will need access to your district calendar, school calendar, and any other important dates your students and/or parents need to know.
 * Part One - Integrating Google Calendar**

Your task is to create a Google Calendar that includes all important events for your school year. Once you have entered in the events, you need to embed the calendar onto the table below and at a later date embed into your classroom website developed in EDTC603.

Google Docs is similar to the Microsoft Student package (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), except all of your work can be accessed from any computer with Internet access. With Google Docs you have the ability to create documents, spreadsheets, slideshows, and forms. One of the best features of Google Docs is Google Forms. Google Forms allows you to create surveys, polls, tests, and/or quizzes easily and all of your results are automatically inserted into an easy to read spreadsheet. For this part of the activity, you are going to create a Google form for use with your students or your student's parents. It could a form to gather information, to survey knowledge or interests, or used as a quiz.
 * Part Two - Questioning With Google Docs**

Your form should include: When you complete your form, please include the live hyperlink of Google Form to the table below.
 * A minimum of 5 questions
