Im a paraprofessional, I see first hand the struggle with paper work. For example attendance, lunch menus, and grades. I think to myself everyday there has to be a easier way. Reading about Web 2.0 informed me about several applications that can change many educators life. The applications can control attendance daily, keep grades accurate, and keep track of lunch menus dailyfor each child. All these application is no cost.
Web 2.0 has made it easy for teachers far as paper work. Many benefit from the program such as, parents, cafeteria workers, students, and teachers. We all like free, and most of the apps are free. Having a blog for your class is so cool to me as an future educator, and especially as a student. Wow! Technologyis making the world worry free.
I agree that the web 2.0 applications are a much better way to organize information and make life easier on us. I really like that we can keep a gradebook online that the students can access. One of my teachers is using one of these gradebook sites even though we have ecollege. It is nice though because there is more of a breakdown of what the assignments are. I am sure it is more user friendly for us and him too.

The Web 2.0 is a great way for teachers to record grades. I am also a para and I am responsible for taking data on each student's IEP goals and behaviors. I believe that this could be a good way to also track that information.
