> I used all of these academic papers to develop my Wiki site for the purpose of assisting students in an inquiry approach to learning. I chose to use Web 2.0 tools to cater for a range of different learning styles and allow students to be active participants in their own learning.

I have also used the reading from the Department of Education on 'Quality teaching and learning practice with ICT, as well as The impact of ICT on both teaching and learning', both these readings talk about the importance of using ICT within your teaching practices and planning.

This reading discussed how Blogs assist with students learning. It discusses how using Blogging allows students to be active participants in their own learning and creates a social constructivist approach to learning.
