Web 2 apps and how they can be used in education.

The web 2 application taggalaxy.de could be used to help in education in a number of ways. Taggalaxy.de's layout if very different to what most people are used to. Its set around a space model with a "tag" being sort of like a sun and other related tags orbit it in the shape of planets. By typing in for example "education" numerous related tags such as "university" and "students" will be orbiting. This is a very interactive way to learn as its fun and easy to navigate through. By clicking on one of the planets or sun the planet becomes a number of pictures related to that topic. This would allow students or teachers to access information on near any topic by simply clicking on an interesting picture. Anyone can add one of these pictures to a tag and so teachers could use this app in order to upload pictures ready for lessons. I can see children being easily immersed by this app as its colourful and so simple to use.
