Good social networking for those who like to read. Good for English/Reading courses to connect with those of similar reading interest

What a great social networking site for instructional technology. This site is created for educators wanting to learn more about Web 2.0 applications and network with others using the technologies. They also post information on FREE live conversations and workshops. This is a site to join.

FixUpMyPic is a web 2.0 tool that allows users to upload ordinary pics and have them "fixed" by a large professional staff. These pics are then sent back to the user, where they can be shared on any popular social network, personal blog or web site, or even printed and shared as gifts. This whole process is 100% free, and no registration is required.

TwitterFone is a great application for all of those Twitter users that allows them to dictate text messages via their mobile phone to be sent out to everyone on their Twitter social network. Users speak their message into their phone and it shows up as text on twitter. Pros: Ability to update Twitter from anywhere, easily turns voice to text Cons: occassional mistakes with voice to text translation, site is sometimes lagging

With MagToo, you can create free image presentations known as "MagShows," to display on your blog or on social network profiles like Facebook or Myspace. You can create a MagShow that is a Slide Show or a Panorama Show, and MagToo will even 'auto-stitch' photos together to create your panoramic image. Add any music you want, or record voice narration.

MagToo is an image widget application and portal site which allows users to create slide shows with a unique magnifier tool, and immersive 360 degree panorama style shows. Furthermore, users can share these on social network sites (Facebook, MySpace, etc.), as well as create virtual "travelogues" on Google maps.

Be careful with this site. Possible inappropriate videos. View video prior to showing in the classroom.

HotChalk is a collaborative online resource for preK-12 teachers, students and parents. It provides an easy-to-use learning management system accessible by any Internet browser, a media-rich library of teacher-contributed lesson plans and digital content, including audio, video, textbook, and assessment content as well as online professional development for teachers.

I found this an interesting web application. Please Note: HotChalk's online tools and community content are free, but their premium content like NBC News video and McGraw-Hill Education's professional development courses require a paid subscription. They do give you a free trial. Another note: HotChalk covers all preK-12 subjects, including Math, Science, Music, Language Arts, Computers & Internet, Social Studies, Art and Physical Education. Their mission is to improve the lives of teachers.... I have to agree with that goal...

Great for use as a literture or reading center
