I believe that some of the 2.0 web technologies in the classroom are sites like wiki, youtube and twitter. some sites that are not as useful would be sites like facebook, instagram or snapchat. the reason being that yes, these apps are actually very good for communication and maintaining contact with people but for most students all of these can just be a distraction. If these were used in class, people would be constantly checking theirs or others feed and not be paying attention to lecture. 

One very interesting tool which i recommend a lot is youtube. YouTube is a very useful tool in the sense that you can learn lot of about things you didn't know just with watching videos. this app is also widely used when people want to share videos with other people, which can be very useful in the classroom to showcase and support certain information especially in lectures. https://www.youtube.com/

the technology advancement which i think holds more promising is the just internet in general especially with 2.0 technology because of the fact that now information is so accessible that you can practically learn anything on the internet and even become a person who is self-taught in any field of your interest, not to mention the fact that in a lot of occasions it ends up being cheaper that going to a normal classroom and learning.
