Introduction

Every day there are new inventions, new tools, new ideas, new uses, or
reinventions of all of them. The education tends to be one of the last areas that
adapts, or stay in and take advantage of everything new. Whether
theories, tools, physical and logical tools.

Sometimes it is so complicated that when you have a system that works

fairly well, don't want to hear any other method, or novelty.

Since the concept of web 2.0 have been many fields in which they have sought
to developments and applications of this concept. And among them was the
amount of applications developed and ideas designed precisely in education.

Some of these applications and ideas as: eTwinning , EducaRed, universidad

de padres, educacin virtual , laboratorios virtuales de
aprendizaje , wikisaber , YouTubeEdu , mviles para la educacin are just a
few examples of how professionals, teachers and pedagogues academic aim
to provide a modern and effective tools to learn more and better.

The educacin 2.0 has as its essence the web 2.0: collaborative work and the
creation of social knowledge, all this with a strong component of altruism and
democratization.

"The classroom is an ideal environment for the concept 2.0 as if it is a small

company formed by the teachers and the students themselves". And yet we
are not able to take advantage of the tremendous potential of collaborative
tools 2.0 in the school and university.

We can cite two reflections that could be related to this progress so slow in the
educational system:
- A teacher cannot teach what they do not know an important part has to do
with the tools who see them as an enemy. Or even if you don't consider an
enemy, enters them a tremendous need to catch up.

- A student does not have the most powerful and sophisticated learning tools
if you are motivated and has a proactive effort and character. The
tremendous crisis de valores in which we are immersed (is so tremendous
that even some are aware of it) which invalidates any effort that can make the
teacher to improve the system.

But what is clear is that the best lives (financially and emotionally) is not usually
the best notes out, but who knew better understand how the world works. And
train future men and women who live, work and forge the society of the future
is to internalize the new 2.0 tools (and those that will come),
increasingly technological and social at the same time. There is an urgent
need to teach each student to be in continuous learning and to fend for
himself for knowing how to take advantage of the inexhaustible flow of new
knowledge in any activity. "It is not a "recycled", it is a learning process that
never ends. More important than knowing the answers to the questions is
knowing how to ask the right questions in order to obtain the information that is
useful in each context".
 1

Statement of the Problem

Collaborative tools that exist in the network that can be applied in the teaching-
learning process?

Objectives

General

Collaborative tools that can be applied in the education and show the benefits
they provide.

Specific

1. To understand the philosophy behind open collaborative projects in the

network or Internet
2. Learn about various educational applications and collaborative tools
3. Describe the use, benefits and scope that provide us with the Weblogs,
Wikis, Podcasts, YouTube, Flickr, social networks, etc.

Justification

The research work is justifiable by to provide information about the

collaborative tools of web 2.0, the benefit shall be addressed to the teachers
and students who can access this work by giving them an approach of the
various tools, applications of pedagogy 2.0.
 2

Theoretical framework

Chapter I: WEB 2.0

World Wide Web

We could say that the World Wide Web is the service to which all users can
access information in virtual libraries, universities, research centers or in pages
developed by experts and aficionados to the topic.

1. What is Web 2.0?

Web 2.0 is an emerging reality of the Internet that, with the help of new tools
and technologies of computer court, it promotes the organization and flow of
information, increasingly depend on the behavior of people who have access
to it, allowing you to not only much easier access and centralized content, but
their own participation both in the classification of the same as in his own
construction, using tools increasingly easy and intuitive to use.

The concept of this new reality began with a 'brainstorming' session conducted
between O'Reilly and MediaLive International. Dale Dougherty, a pioneer of
the web and vice president of O'Reilly, noted that far from 'crash', the web was
more important than ever, with exciting new applications and web sites
appearing with surprising regularity. The question was simple, could it be that
the collapse of the dot-com implied some sort of crucial turning point for the
web, so that a call to action such as "Web 2.0" might make sense?

2. Characteristics of Web 2.0

You can highlight a number of features that help you to have a global overview
of the concept that we are dealing with in this document
 3

2.1. Software without the need to install it on your computer:

Publication tools you can find information available on the network, without the
need to install software on your computer, although there is a limit (for now) of
having to adjust to the preset formats that have the sites. Such is the case of
the hosting of blogs that allows you to have a web page where you can post
information and make it available to the public leaving the possibility of
receiving responses and opinions.

2.2. Online collaboration through the various resources available:

The media and publication of information are indispensable elements for the
collaborative work. Several people can build together and participate, such is
the case of the sites like Wikipedia or YouTube, Flickr, delicious, digg,
myspace, among others.

2.3. New procedures for work, communicate and participate on the Web:
In the beginning, the users began to publish information without any order.
Were created and flooded the domains were created from the search engines
and portals, now there are new ways of grouping the information published and
can be in major search engines and thematic databases or resources for the
publication of information in templates web sites.

2.4. Creation of new networks of collaboration:

Between users via the resources of communication and publication of
information virtual communities have been established that allow the exchange
between users, which generates new social networks on the web. An example
is the construction of large communities or e-learning that has gained
momentum in recent years.
 4

2.5. Version ordered a search engine:

The concept web 2.0 More than a technological development innovative is a
reorganization and a new conception of what is on the Internet and what is
being built. In a principle is public information in an expedited manner, but with
the time it was perceived that this disorder caused a disorder. There is so much
information published without organization.
Support, which sometimes becomes more complicated with a search and
selection of information.

2.6. Recomposition of the conception of Web Site:

This new version aims to be a meeting point and collaboration between users,
in addition to working under an order in the publication of the information, hence
they are born so many initiatives to create portals to manage thematically the
information. This new proposal is intended to have an order in the information.

2.7. Convergence of media:

Web sites designed under the Design 2.0 are made under the precepts of the
usability and under the idea of having a greater number of resources, as in the
case of video, chat, forums, exchange of files in real time, podcasts, Internet
radio stations with the aim of offering services to users.
Now we have a great challenge to Web 2.0, social networks and take
advantage of this new reconfiguration. These are some of the characteristics
of Web 2.0 i am sure that the subject gives to assemble a debate and to know
the opinion of those who build the Web 2.0: Users.

3. What is Web 2.0 in education?

Is to educate in community, collaboration and interactivity.

In concrete terms the web 2.0 makes it possible to:

 5

3.1. Interactivity
By making possible the total communication, bi-directional and
multi-directional; the relationship becomes proximate and
immediate; it enables interactivity and interaction in both
synchronous and asynchronous, symmetric and asymmetric.

3.2. Collaborative learning.

To enable the work in group and the cultivation of social attitudes;
allows the learning with others, others, and for others through the
exchange of ideas and tasks, develop these programming more or
less guided tours (cooperation).

3.3. Directionality
To be easy to make documents, views and responses have
simultaneously different and multiple recipients, selected at a click.

3.4. Freedom of publication and dissemination

Given that anyone can edit their work and disseminate their ideas
which, at the same time, they can be known by a multitude of
internet surfers.

The school 1.0, is where the teacher has the control of resources or the
authority: text books, Web, digital book.

The school 2.0 is associated with Web 2.0, where you share the authority, is
created between all: students and teacher, as well: Blogs, Wikis, etc.

Chapter II: THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES AND COLLABORATIVE

TOOLS.
 6

The purpose of the educational process is to provide to the young generations

the skills needed to function in society.
Education has to prepare for life and must integrate the recreation of the
Meaning of things. This will use active methodologies that promote interaction
between students, social integration, the ability to communicate, collaborate,
the change of attitudes, the development of thinking and discovery.
The professor of today has to know, analyze the motivations for teaching,
research on what is happening in their classroom, because it will be the best
way to encourage the learning of their students. In the final analysis, has to
become a researcher of their own activity. Today, learning is seen as a social
activity. A student does not learn only from the teacher and/or the book of text
or only in the classroom: learn also from many other agents: the media, their
peers, society in general, etc.

With the appearance of the web 2.0 extends the range of possibilities that
allows the teacher and the educational community to find new ways to promote
learning, collaborative tools are a clear example of this type of solutions, which
have a great potential for the use and development to facilitate the work of the
teams of teachers and/or researchers, as in the classroom. Then we are going
to collect a series of collaborative tools

Chapter III: WEB 2.0 COLLABORATIVE TOOLS

WEBLOGS

A blog, or in spanish Also a weblog, is a web site on a regular basis

Updated that collects chronologically texts or articles from one or several
authors, first appearing the most recent, where the author always preserves
the freedom of leaving published which creates relevant. The
term weblog comes from the words web and log ('log' in English = daily).
 7

A weblog is, above all, a form of expression, creation and sharing knowledge.

You can set the following classification:

A) Academic or research
B) Teacher-students
(C) group Weblogs

Edublogs

We could understand the edublogs as those Weblogs whose main objective is

to support a process of teaching-learning in an educational context.
Types of edublogs (Wikipedia):
A) Class Collaborative Blogs,
B) Class Blogs,
(C) Research and Blogs
D) Blogs of students or teachers.
We may also group the blogs of teaching among educators, that allow you to
discuss and share experiences in your area to professors from various centers

Teacher-students

This type of edublogs is one of the that we are most interested in. It also has
many modalities and forms of use. One of the most used is to lead the learning
process; they are published formal aspects that have to do with the subject or
course to be taught. The teacher, in a simple way, you can include work to be
done, propose topics to develop, notes (to develop or incomplete), activities to
be carried out (such as webquest), links of interest to extend the training,
guidelines, etc. The edublog should be open to discussions and comments on
 8

the part of the students. In this way the teacher can receive this information as
feedback.

Group Weblogs

Can be oriented in many ways the interrelationship between student-student

and teacher, but we focus on some of the features that involve this
methodological structure:
Are a method of collaborative work and group work.
Generate a horizontal structure (several blogs in unison) to discuss,
analyze and combine different experiences of content production and
distribution.
Encourage and activate the participation and discussion among the
students themselves.
"The students develop their own blogs class, using them as a means of
communication with teachers, and as a platform for the publication of the
exercises of the course. In addition, each student
Creates and maintains a personal blog on a topic of their interest, which is
Directed and evaluated as a final project."

Contributions of weblogs to the educational sphere

Are excellent tools for digital literacy, since they allow the familiarization
with all the components of a blog (blogroll, categories, trackback,)
Provide different levels of writing and writing.
Let us assess new ways of learning, with what some authors have called
literacy.
Are asynchronous collaborative tools that power the cohesion of the
group and the teacher-student interaction.
 9

Provide a space in which to find webgrafias (documentary sources and

bibliographies) for the area of knowledge.
Facilitate the constant updating of contents through the syndication
Integrator of other tools (Web 2.0)
Categories, thematization
Interactivity
RSS Syndication (distribution and documentation)
Aggregation RSS

WIKIS

A Wiki is a web site whose web pages can be edited by multiple volunteers
through the web browser. Users can create, modify, or delete a text they share.
The texts or "wiki page" have unique titles. If you type the title of a "page-wiki"
somewhere in the wiki, this Word becomes a "web link" (or "link") to the web
page. The implementation of greater depth and to which he owes his greatest
fame until now, has been the creation of collaborative encyclopedias, gender
belongs to Wikipedia. There are many other applications closer to the
coordination of information and actions, or the pooling of knowledge or texts
within groups.

The Wikis In Education

In the field of education, wikis can be used to:

Interactuar and collaborate dynamically with the students.
Share ideas, create applications, propose definitions, lines of work, etc.
for purposes of different kinds.
 10

Recreate or glossaries, dictionaries, textbooks, manuals, repositories

of interaula classroom (wikis), etc.

The functionality of this collaborative tool is of great interest for the educational
world. Allows you to have a history of a document with all the
Possible Corrections. The capacity of editing of files and their possible edition,
can serve as a backup tool. It is in the interest of
To know which is of great interest to the collaboration when you want to mount
a job that has many points to treat or tickets (glossaries, dictionaries,
encyclopedias, writing/draft notes, specific branches of a particular science,
research work developed in different countries, etc.) that can be written by
different people.

An example of utility for the university world, which at the moment is a little
stagnant is the creation and collaboration with this collaborative environment;
these are projects that are beginning to emerge with the
GNU General Public License in the Wikimedia Foundation: Wikibooks
(http://es.wikibooks.org/wiki/Portada)
Wikiversity (wikibooks.org/wiki/Wikiversidad)

PODCAST

In general terms, a Podcast is a post or text that can be read in a Weblog, but
in audio format, that is to say, that you can listen to as if it were a radio program,
using an MP3 player or other mobile device that has the program required for
that format.

The Podcasts in education

Third party study materials

 11

Creating material for students

Work projects based on Podcasts.

Advantages of the Podcasts

Diversity of content
Easy Storage
Independence, mobility and freedom of schedule

YOUTUBE

YouTube is a website that allows users to upload, view and share digital video
over the Internet.

Youtube in education

The use of YouTube in teaching can be very useful. Today, a very high
percentage of the population manages the Internet at your home.
There are many people who for various reasons cannot attend educational
centers, and try to study on their own, (for example, people who enrolls in the
University at a Distance). In these cases, YouTube can be used to teach to
those people.

Advantages of Youtube

Upload and download videos

Share and classify them
Posting on blogs or Web sites
Send them by mail, comment on them
 12

View statistics of visits

Designing our own favorites list

FLICKR

In general terms, Flickr is a tool to save and tag images on the Web.

Flickr in education

Flickr is one of the publication of photos used in the Web 2.0. Offers several
advantages to the cooperative or collaborative learning, because it allows you
to upload photos to the web without the need to install any kind of software on
the computer, so that makes it easier for the students. It also allows you to view
the photos or sharing them with the rest of the community through the Internet.

Benefits of Flickr

Free storage space.

Intuitive interface.
Sort the photos with "tags" or labels.
View in Flash presentations photographs.
Designing Our "sets" theme (or folders).
Email the photos to our friends and share with all users.
Post pictures on blogs or Web sites.
Participate in thematic groups.
Choose the mode of publication by using Creative Commons
License.
Select the size of the publication of the photos.
Add and point out specific aspects of an image.
 13

Social Networks

A social network is a social structure that can be represented in the form of one
or more graphs in which the nodes represent individuals (sometimes
The so-called actors) and the edges relationships between them. Relationships
can be of different types, such as financial exchanges, friendship, or air routes.
It is also the means of interaction of different people such as online games,
chats, forums, spaces, etc.

Social Media Tools

The tools that provide in general social networks on the Internet

Are:
Automatic update of the address book
Profiles visible
Ability to create new links through
Presentation and other ways of social connection online.

Social Networks in Education

Social networks, especially some how Ning or Elgg, allow a very efficient when
there is involved a large number of students and teachers. What is more, the
greater the number of members of a network
Social, the greater its productivity. A social network with 500 members will be
much more effective than one with 100. I believe that below 100 social networks
students lose their effectiveness and not worth their use.

The attractiveness of social relations, the environment and working conditions

 14

Determine the performance in the same. Social networks have

A huge attraction in the personal aspect and relationship on the part of the
USA. For this reason, the greater the number of participants more attraction
generates in students to be in direct contact with their teachers, friends, and
colleagues from other courses that you perhaps
Know of view but with which it has never spoken. This allows you to create a
favorable work environment which is one of the reasons for the success of the
direct social networks.
Social networks have the undeniable value of bringing the formal and informal
learning. As they allow the student to express himself, relationships with others,
as well as to meet the demands of their education.

Working Groups

The ability to create as many groups of students as desired facilitates

coordination, the contact between one and the other, collaboration, sharing of
materials and the creation of digital products. Both students and teachers can
create groups that can be opened or closed, the latter is accessed by invitation.
The system to belong to the group as well as restraint on the creation of the
groups is configurable according to the needs of the moment.

What social network use?

Interesting networks: Facebook, Elgg and Ning. Facebook is a community

Open where there is too much noise. Elgg is a network created specifically
For education. However, you need a server of their own, which, at least
In our case, has served to dismiss it. Ning offers social networks
Free that can be closed to the outside. In addition, for the education with
students from 12 to 18 years eliminates the Google advertising if they are asked
directly (such as Wikispaces for your wikis). Has other advantages, such as the
possibility of translation into other languages and the modification of the texts
 15

of the network, so that this can be customized according to your individual

requirements. In a later article will detail the functionality and features of Ning
Network.
Students learn what teachers evaluated, and the way they do determines the
way they learn. It is a fact that one of the sources of students' motivation to
learn, if not the most important one, is adopted; therefore, the professor is seen
more as a judge as a travel guide that assists in the creation of a climate of
classroom atmosphere, which fosters the sharing of knowledge. The social and
collaborative nature of the Web 2.0 could encourage an evolution of education
toward what has often been called "collective learning" that consists in
considering that knowledge does not have the teacher in exclusivity, but has
the group. Each one of its members have greater accessibility to information,
which allows you to bring new points of view, which enrich the relationship and
with-contributing to build a new knowledge, cooperative, adapted to the needs
and particularities of each group, which in all probability will be different to those
of the previous course .In this situation, the educational paradigm that we must
achieve is one in which the teacher is more a guide as an instructor, in short, a
companion that allows the student to choose its own path. We have the idea.
The next step is to see if they also possess the right tools to develop it. Are
there. The Web 2.0 philosophy fits perfectly with this approach and its use can
facilitate learning and the generation of knowledge in a group. However, one
thing is to have material and another is to give an educational use that
contributes to the improvement of teaching and learning processes. In this
context, the teacher should devote more time to tutoring, guidance, personal
work of search for new materials, training, moderation of forums, blogs, wikis,
chats, etc. and less to preparing and teaching classes. It is curious to observe
how the differences between traditional learning environments and new ones
are being closely related to the differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0.
This gives us another argument in favor of the usefulness of the Website 2.0
 16

to make evolve the learning and the educational process. We must consider
the following aspects:

The network as a platform, learn anywhere:

In Web 2.0, the network is the platform and "any place" means any place on
the network. The student decides where to work on the web. In this context,
the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is a student's personal space where
it organizes its own resources, which can be located in any place/space on the
web.

The collective intelligence:

The social construction of knowledge: The old educational paradigm is based

on the concept of author, a concept related to the age of literacy (literacy) and
in discussion in the cyber age (cyber age). The Wikipedia is an example of this
collective construction without authors. In another place I wrote about the
difficulties of using wikis in education:
Reconcile the collective authorship and the social construction of knowledge
with the
System of evaluation, certification and reward individual is based on the
educational system. The wikis, as pointed out by Antonio Bartolom, work to
the extent that recognize and reward the individual authors.

Analysis
 17

According to research you can show that teachers and students have a basic
understanding of the collaborative tools that make up the pedagogy web 2.0,
but it should be noted that the minimum knowledge is what limits the proper
exploitation of these tools in the teaching-learning process.
It is necessary to form a culture in our society, in the generation of teachers
and students, to exploit more effectively the collective knowledge available in
the network.

Conclusions

Web 2.0 offers a large number of tools and applications that people can use to
create virtual environments. Considering the virtual environments as spaces of
communication that allow the exchange of information and that would,
according to its use, the creation of a context of teaching and learning.
The Web as an educational resource presents multiple advantages and also
new challenges, its hypertextual structure enables the user navigation by nets
full of information that expand their ability to access multiple resources and
facilitate their individual work and cooperative.

Recommendations

The most important points to consider to make good use of the tools of Web
2.0:
Infrastructure.
Working with the Web 2.0, students will be more autonomous in the
access to information and for the construction of their knowledge, but for
this they need specific capabilities such as:
Digital skills
Social Skills
 18

Teachers have to feel safe by using technology in their teaching

activities, and to this end require:
General digital capabilities
Teaching Competencies
Favorable attitude
Spirit researcher
