This is a web 2.0 tool that allows one to upload Powerpoint presentations to the web for accessibility. I'll use this is teaching, presentations, and professional development training!

This is an awesome tool that teachers and students can use to share their knowledge with others. I have already used this to help my godson with some of his music theory, because the slide shares are searchable, so you can share with others, and view other people's contributions. I will use this in my English classroom to establish historical/literary contexts for literature before my students start reading.

This free app allows you to convert and view PowerPoint files on the iPad without losing any original formatting, animations, or transitions.

I really like this tool, it ipadifys PPT files exceptionally well. It is an easy upload process and convert too. Thanks for sharing.

This is something I really can use in my classroom. I think its convenient. It's a great way for our students to get involved to. I really like this.

Prezi is a great educational resource for students and teachers alike. Prezi gives a fun new spin on the traditional powerpoint. It also allows you to save your presentation online so you can log on and use it from any internet enabled computer.

Great resource for lessons and classroom activities for Social StudiesClasses.This one site is connected to many other history themed educational sites. While planning my first lesson ever, this site was my go to. It helped with activity ideas, lecture, and powerpoints. Although I may have not used everything it gave me great ideas to build on.

This is Ann S. Michaelson's blog, Teaching English using web 2.0. In Ann's blog, she talks about incorporating Web 2.0 tools and applications with students in her International English class. There are great posts about how to use different applications, such as blogs and WebNote, as well as ideas for 1:1 classroom activities. As a future English teacher, I am always interested in learning new ways to use Web 2.0 in my classroom. In addition to presenting different tools, Ann also considers how to teach English as a second language.

I really like this blog. I really like her ideas about incorporating web 2.0 into an ESL classroom. Whether it be ESL or just a traditional English classroom, I think that using web 2.0 is a promising way to engage students in learning English.

I like the web 2.0 tools Michaelson introduced in her blog such as Webnotes, Timeline and he vocabulary builder VocabAhead. The webnotes is kind like a combination of google document, google reader and diigo.I think it's convenient for both teachers and students to get useful resources, organize and share them. Although the free version limit the functions, it is still worth trying. The timeline tools is a good one can be used in history course. Using timeline to display flow chart in powerpoint is also a good choice. I like VocabAhead best. It explains words by using image, voice and example sentence. Thus, it makes students much easier to understand a new word and know how to apply in real situation. I think it's a good tool can be used in English class. Thanks for sharing the blog to us.
