Kid's Kitchen using Web 2.0

During my online summer class I created a Web Based Learning project using Web 1.0 technologies. “Kid’s Kitchen” gives students the opportunity to exchange information about a dish they enjoy cooking or eating by providing the recipe for students around the world. Each student who participates will list the ingredients and tools needed to make the dish. They will also post the recipe in the form of how-to steps. Students will also post a picture or drawing of the dish.  As other students go to the website they will be able to read recipes posted by other students.  They will also get to learn what students around the world like to eat.

One way I could change this project to incorporate Web 2.0 technologies would be to have the students post a video of them cooking the dish. The students would then upload the video to a blog.  Students could also write the recipe using the how to format for a printable recipe option. Using a blog would allow the students to comment on the videos and ask questions. 

Before the project was over for that student when they sent their recipe to the website.  If the student’s recipe were posted to a blog they would be able to communicate with people around the world about their recipes. This would give them more opportunities to practice reading and writing skills.  It would also be a great chance for the students to communicate with other students around the world.
