Do you like to play with words or create visual poems? A "Wordle" enables you
to create a word "cloud," visually depicting the relationship between words
based on their frequency of use. You can tweak your word "clouds" with different
fonts, layouts, and color schemes.

Tip: Teach students to create a Wordle to express their
reading interests or their favorite book.

Tip: Look at the Classroom 2.0 weekly webinars, featuring
leading Web 2.0 educators  - a great way to learn for both the novice and
experienced educator.

Create your own social network for your classroom, your school group or your
library. Share your ideas, pictures, and plans. Choose the features, a forum, a
blog, members' pages, RSS feeds - whatever you would like to share and
collaborate and control the membership.

Tip: Classroom or library nings give students opportunities
to learn how to effectively and safely be members of an online social
network.

What are you doing? Twitter, a website for communication among
friends and colleagues, is based on this question. Everyone who is connected to
your account can know what you are doing at anytime, just send a "tweet." 
This is a way for everyone to keep track of everyone else.

Tip: Students working in research teams, designate
secretaries to keep the instructor and librarian up to date on how the group is
doing throughout the project.
