The Great Books Foundation is focusing on the holocaust and the Diary of Anne Frank in this piece. I believe it is an excellent example of how to inorporate technology into instruction to enhance the conversation. Note that they are utilizing Voicethread as a tool for increasing conversation about the topic.

"Welcome to Shelfari! Shelfari is the premier social network for people who love books. Create a virtual shelf to show off your books, see what your friends are reading and discover new books - all for free!" Second time in a week that I've come across this site, it's growing on me. I think it has great potential for book studies/sharing.

Interesting little article identifying how to use web 2.0 tools to achieve school improvement plan goals, but I will say it's the instructional uses and not the tools that makes these goals achievable. Without the understanding (and more importantly) buy-in from teachers to integrate the tools into the classroom SIP goals won't be achievable.
