<p>What are your top three cross-curricular web 2.0 tools? I have some favorites but would like to expand my list, especially since many of them are from the perspective of an English teacher. I'd love to hear from teachers who teach other content areas to expand my exposure. Please comment below. Much appreciated.</p>

<p><strong>The teaching-learning fraternity, since the time of inception of the concept of Web tools, is curious to explore:</strong></p>
<p><strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;">Whether Web tools can be used for assessment and evaluation purposes too, in teaching-learning process?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> If yes, what sort of tools are available which can be effectively used for assessment and evaluation?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #008000;"><strong>Here comes the solution.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>The current chapter draws a comprehensive picture of evaluation and ICT tools for evaluation, and in turn the technology in evaluation. Beginning from the concept of learning and evaluation, swimming through the conceptual understanding of Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 tools, the document gives a comprehensive, yet brief, picture of web tools, especially Web 2.0 tools, with detail, which can easily be used for the teaching-learning assessment and evaluation.</strong></span></p>

<p>I'm honored (and thrilled) that my submission was selected for the first cohort of published submissions. My submission focuses on digital writing as a medium for process and product. As a member of <a href="http://www.nwp.org/" target="_self">The National Writing Project</a> and continuous collaboration with dear friend, <a href="http://hickstro.org/">Troy Hicks</a>, digital writing is something I value greatly. </p>

<p><b>Target Audience(s):</b> Learning Designers & Year 5 to Year 10 Educators,</p>
<p><b>Short Session Description (one line):</b> Social Media in the classroom inspires learning, encourages creativity and can change the teaching and learning dynamics.</p>
<p><b>Full Session Description (as long as you would like):</b> <br/> Gail has been using social media environments, including Nings, with her Middle Years classes, for a number of years. She has often integrated global projects into her classroom through these social media environments and has developed a range of peer-to-peer learning approaches. In this session, Gail will share samples of work from her Year 7 integrated program, her Year 8 Mathematics classes and Year 8/9 ICT classes. She has found that, by developing classroom programs for students that take advantage of the unique qualities of social media, students have been required to think, create, critique and, often without their conscious intent, become valued resources and models for their peers. Through an 18 month classroom action research study, Gail has found that social media can offer students a creative learning environment that promotes creative thinking. Gail is a PhD student from Deakin University, Australia.</p>
