This is a site designed to help boys/guys find something to read. We have an abnormally high number of boys compared to girls at our school, and not all of them love reading. This site is a great way to steer them towards something they might like. Most of the contributors are male authors, and they serve as great examples for my students of guys who like to read and write.

Since we use Google Docs at our school, we can accomplish a lot of the same things that slideshare does, but I still think it's a valuable site for making collaborative slide presentations and sharing them online.

Glogster is a great Web 2.0 tool that I am using for the second year in my classes. Glogs are essentially online posters that allow users to display information in a different format than the traditional poster or powerpoint. Users can upload pictures, video, and audio, or they search glogster's database for relevant images, etc.
