AGIS presentation in Hannover, February 2009. The Web 2.0 is an innovative tool for education that is changing the 21st century process of teaching. Not only its potential is limitless but also its social and behavioral power. Creativity, participation and collaboration are only some of the key elements in Web 2.0. But there are more. This presentation will explore the endless possibilities that internet can have for a Language teacher. From web quests to online exercises and other powerful resources. We will also have a look at some useful simple digital video tools and podcasts to be both used and created by students in class.
