I had to share because I know my daughter will love this when she is a bit older. You can draw, create a store, make a movie, color a picture, and much more. You can share your creation through Facebook, MySpace etc.

What is Poll Everywhere? The fastest way to create stylish real-time experiences for events using mobile devices Poll Everywhere replaces expensive proprietary audience response hardware with standard web technology. It's the easiest way to gather live responses in any venue: conferences, presentations, classrooms, radio, tv, print - anywhere.

I love this tool. Great for teachers!

I think the basic "free" features allow you just to poll one survey question at a time. What's really cool about it is that students can text their answers in. I am not familiar with it, but it is a great way to generate discussion within a classroom, blog, or website.

100 of the top web 2.0 tools used by teachers.

Alyn, I also have a written list on several scratch pieces of paper that are in various places around my computers. Now, everything that I need to know about web 2.0 tools and links are in one place. I am overwhelmed with the amount of resources that were listed. I have only heard of about 1/2 of what is posted on this site.

A fantastic site for teachers and educators. There are several tools that are listed by category including presentation tools, mobile tools, video tools, community tools, and related tools.

I'm not sure if this is a web2.0 tool, but I found this site interesting. Original ideas, knowledge, projects, music, videos, and etc. can be shared with others. The authors of these tools can claim licenses on this site to protect their work. In addition, the site provides users with millions of videos, songs, content, academic activities etc. that you can legally use for free.

This is a repeat! Sorry! Vanessa posted this earlier in the course.

Moodle is a free web-based LMS that allows you to build learning sites including online courses.

Hangouts let you video chat with up to 9 people, face-to-face-to-face. You can watch YouTube videos, wear pirate hats, or even doodle together.

I did not write the original comment. Google hangouts is a new communication tool that is free. It is like Facetime except that you can have up to 9 people on your call. It is suppose to be better then Skype because there is a screen sharing tool that you can use during the call. I just discovered this last night! I plan on trying it out when my hubby leaves for South Africa in a couple of weeks.

I love this tool. It does have a collaboration and sharing feature, but I'm not quite sure if it web 2.0. What are your thoughts?

Animoto turns your photos and video clips into professional video slideshows in minutes. Fast, free and shockingly simple - we make awesome easy.

I actually use it as a short welcome tool within my virtual classes. The html code is easy to embed.

I absolutely love using dropbox. This is a free tool that allows you to share information easily simply by logging into your dropbox account. In addition, it is an extra 2G of storage space. I have a dropbox icon on my laptop computer. If I am working on a document, I can simply place it into the dropbox icon, and it will appear on my desktop (both have the same account information).
