According to Penn State Learning Design, Web 2.0 is short for "Web Log", this is a site where people post their reflections on whatever they like (not necessarily technology or education). Two key features are the ability for other people to post comments to another person's blog and the ability to subscribe to new posts in a blog using RSS. http://ets.tlt.psu.edu/learningdesign/web20glossary
The two websites that I found were Web 2.0 and I think can be a great way of using in the classroom are Kidoz.net and kids.audible.com. Kido'z is a protected environment made for young kids that enables children to surf sites, watch videos, and play games. The system blocks links, scripts, and any other attempts that lead to sites and content which have not yet been approved preventing them being viewed by the children. Audible kids is an engaging fun story telling system through audiobooks online. Listen to books, read, and share your thoughts with others. I picked these two out because one day I hope to teach little kids and I think these sites will be great to use!
