One of the issues I face is my ability to use real-time teaching tools. The WiZiQ website is such a Web 2.0 tool. One of the best features is the capabilities to write or use existing lessons available on their URL http://www.wiziq.com. The website is designed to be used by teachers globally. I found a lesson about instrumentation with colorful drawings and spelling. The website has links for teachers to meet and collaborate. There is a portion that helps you as an educator to prepare lessons and exams. We as educators are also dealing with our own multiple intelligences. I like visuals and audio lessons. There are video lessons available for students and teachers. I like the fact that you can search for classes in order to learn about as subject you may need to brush up on. I imagine myself enrolling in course and sending students to the website to encourage rigor and engagement in and out of my classroom. WiZiQ is user friendly so the elementary student and the college student can find resources to fit there current needs as a student. It can be found on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, yahoo Groups and more. This Web 2.0 is worth using as a support system for parents that need to connect to teachers and subjects when they are trying to help their students at home. Parents can network with other parents world wide about school and student issues. As the teachers, parents and students become a learning community the possibilities of academic achievement increase.
