abstract = {During the last years, many Web 2.0 technologies are adopted in various aspects of education. We present a detailed study of the integration of Web 2.0 tools in education and attempt to evaluate their contribution in the educational process. For the assessment of the suitability and effectiveness of web 2.0 tools in education, we have designed, implemented, and evaluated a pilot case study for Secondary Education.
Specifically, the study presents the application of a Learning Management System (LMS), called ePhysics that combines Web 2.0 tools such as Blog, Wiki, Social Bookmarking etc. for teaching physics in secondary education.
This implementation was applied in an authentic educational activity in order to support the collaboration between students. The results of this study show that, under appropriate planning, Web 2.0 tools can be used with great success to support real educational activities and provide a very flexible and efficient form of collaborative learning in Secondary Education.},
