Abstract
Web 2.0 tools are commonly used in today’s classrooms. The most popular Web 2.0 tools are Youtube, Podcast, wikis, and blogs. Teachers tend to use these tools because they think students find a lesson more interesting with them. While there are a variety of ways to use Web 2.0 tools in classrooms, they can be mainly divided into two categories: teacher-directed and student-directed ways. In the former case, a teacher usually decides contents of the tools which are simply presented to students. However, Web 2.0 tools can also be used by students to create their own work. Student generated content as commonly seen as in user generated content show many benefits of active learning. In this presentation, we will discuss how Web 2.0 tools can be incorporated into a lesson for student-generated content.
