The web 2.0 that would work for me is google docs. Google docs is a great web 2.0 that can be used for basically anything. I can do spread sheets, papers, notes, letters, and share them without having to email. I choose who can access it. The person that can access it can view it as soon as they log in. It is a form of instant messaging but better. I can access my work from every computer. I do not have to worry of things not saving or flash keys not working because everything is online. The documents are created on the internet and you control who gets to view them. I created one that my sisters and I view. We are all attending a university and we all help each other with grammar in our essays. By using this we can have our essays ready to be revised. This helps us a lot because its quicker than email. My sister already began using it and I have the honor in reading her first essay.
Google docs would also be a useful tool for any classroom environment. As a teacher I can have my students view the information I want them to view without them going to different sites. I can post the homework so no students can say "we had homework." Also if they would have any questions they can view what their peers wrote which would make class discussions. Also spread sheets can be seen which could illustrate the students grades and what will be coming next. Parents will know how much time their children will need for homework and will be reluctant for them to be playing games when they would see the site. Overall, I had no issues with the site and it does everything it says its suppose too. Its simple and easy. If I could do it anyone can.

Google Doc seems like a great tool to use. I wish I knew about this during my undergrad because I could have used it to save all of my projects and papers. This would have been really helpful with doing group projects because this allows all students to have access to all the information allowing less meetings to work on certain type of projects.
