The potential benefits of investing the above tools There are two reasons that benefits you in these media sharing sites Your tribe message is a natural fit. It's easier for you to produce video than written word. One of the major benefits of using social media tools mentioned above is teaching students to communicate openly, honestly, and above all kindly with their peers. Collaboration web site tools that are also being mentioned above have the ability to connect administrators, teachers, students and parents.

Critical issues to be considered before adopting Web 2 Critical issues to be considered before adopting Web 2.0 applications for education Information is more difficult to monitor and secure. Lack or loss of connectivity prevents work for those students depending on them. Service interruption are outside the organization’s control Their casual nature may blur the line between education and personal use. Data available for forensic examination is lost when data is moved from local storage.

Conclusion Not only that Web 2.0 gives benefits to students and other users but it also has side effects. Thus I propose a design for a more effective recommendation system that can overcome these issues.
