There is a growing demand among school leaders and educators for Web 2.0 design tailored for classroom learning. Levels of use have improved since 2009 across several categories of Web 2.0 tools, including online social networking.
However, concerns remain about student safety and lack of teacher knowledge about how to use Web 2.0 technologies effectively, and these remain barriers for many school districts. These are areas where improvement is needed to ensure that school districts can meet the individual learning needs of the Net Generation. Research indicates that where teachers are incorporating Web 2.0 technologies effectively in the classroom, they are seeing positive outcomes. District size has been a factor in teacher's attitudes toward Web 2.0 technologies, with larger district size equating to a more positive attitude toward the new tools.
