1) Diigo
https://www.diigo.com/
A great tool used to research and communicate different topics, along
with the ability to bookmark sections of a page and permanently highlight
them. Also, you can communicate with others by adding them to your
friend list and receive insight on what they enjoy and what they are
tagging.
This can be used by the teacher not only to connect students, but also
to see that students are tagging the appropriate subject to ensure that
they are staying on track of the objective.
This can be used by the student to connect with classmates on
projects, and also be used to remember what they study more through the
bookmark aid that is provided.
Some advantages for using the tool is the fact that you can collaborate on
findings through bookmarks, notes, and forum discussions. Also, diigo
modifies your tags by offering topics that the user may be interested in.
2) Google Docs
https://docs.google.com/
Google Docs, connected with google, is a web 2.0 tool that allows
people to connect with others who have google email, allow people to
create all types of documents without download, allows you to always
have your work saved through the auto save feature, and gives access to
your account on any computer with internet access.
This can be used by a teacher by posting on the news section of google
docs and having the students be connected to the assignment through
google plus. Through other areas within google docs, the teacher can have
the student save their work through google drive for safe and secure
storage.
A student can use google docs for multiple reasons. One reason would
be to have their own personal email that could directly send to the
teacher without interruptions. Another reason would be to have an easy
connection with classmates, through google plus, one could see what their
classmates were researching. Finally, not only is google docs available on
a computer but also on any smartphone.
A major advantages are that everything that the class could/would
revolve around would be in one area where many people could access it,
or an area where one person can dictate it.

communities of upcoming events.

group/community. Also it can be used to keep track of the badges given by
