    This website could be a great resource for students and teachers in science, math, history, language arts, etc. This site will allow students to create a fake page about a famous individual. This combines things students enjoy (Facebook) and school material. If you can create an appropriate and interactive project, it can be very enjoyable for students.

    This looks like a great site Katie! I can definitely see myself using this in the future. I will be an ESL teacher, so it will be a good way to practice simple English phrases, as well as learning content. Thanks for sharing!

    Fun wiki for students and teachers. It gives the students a chance to look at what other students are doing around the world in school including projects, activities, and school lives. It is a great way to connect with others in a controlled environment

    Before this site I had never even heard of a Glog, but after this site I find them to be very interesting and useful. The variety of information on this site is so vast and with so many participants from so many locations the content is great. This would be a great project for a classroom to participate in, through Glogs, which would be fun and educational at the same time for students. They could create their own or browse others for a quality yet interactive lesson. I will add it to the "someday I want to use this in my classroom" list. Thanks for sharing.

    This wiki is a resource for teachers to use to improve the education of their students. This wiki focuses on Math. I could use this wiki for personal reasons, I am a math minor and love to read up on various techniques used to teach math to elementary students. Also, students can use this wiki as a resource and medium for projects as well.

    This website is organized into three parts: educators, families, and students. The Educator part gives teachers many great teaching materials, online resources, lesson plans, field trip ideas and professional development resources. The Families part gives tipes and suggestions for families planning on visiting the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. The Students part gives students links to discover the museum as well as various links and resources to explore different subjects from school. The resources include websites, games, and activities.

    I liked how you could search for topics by state standards and grade level besides subject. This would be a good resources for both kids and teachers. The separate kids section is also a good exploratory site in that they can discover things on their own.

    Skype's education portal, which connects teachers to classrooms all over the world using Skype for students to interact. A great way for educators who wish to use Skype in their classroom to find out more about the technology! Educators can also share and collaborate their ideas on this site, as well as find other educators who are willing to Skype to their classrooms.
  • anonymous on 13 Nov 11
     
    This is a great resource for teachers. Having this directory of other teachers that use Skype is really helping us flatten the walls of our classroom. I have use Skype for years now and I did not know that they had this out. The classroom that I am working in now would benefit from this resources because we are doing a unit called "Around the World" we have Skype a few people we know personally but this would allows us to talk a person from every country we go.
  • John Hubbard on 14 Nov 11
     
    This is a really good resource for teachers. Skype is a great resource in the classroom. The opportunities that Skype bring to the classroom are endless. I have used Skype for other uses but never in the classroom. Students are able to use this as a way to meet students from across the world.
  • Mikael Rein on 14 Nov 11
     
    I had never thought about using Skype in the classroom until now. This is a great resource for both students and teachers. You can even collaborate with other classes using this. This reminds me of the flat classroom project but with a lot more potential.

    This looks like a great resource for anyone in education, teaching or learning. It is well organized and provides links to a lot of useful free tools. I wish I had this stuff when I was growing up.
  • Alison Leytem on 14 Nov 11
     
    This looks like a great resource for elementary teachers, providing so many links in one place. It is like an annotated bibliography, presenting various resources for teachers to use, making it easy for us to navigate. Though I plan to teach in secondary education, some of these categories could still be used with high schoolers in my English classroom, especially Google and the Research & Reference resources. I think that teachers in elementary education will find this resource very useful, and I could even show it so some of my high school students so that they would have different things to explore if they were interested. I found a similar website that compiles resources from around the web, focusing on Language Arts education: http://www.internet4classrooms.com/lang_mid.htm. Here, there are citation guides, research help, online literature links, and many other great activities for the LA classroom.
  • Molly Oleson on 14 Nov 11
     
    This looks like a great resource to keep on hand for teachers! I feel like it should be used mostly by teachers and they should definitely take advantage of it. Too often do teachers use the same routine every day and use stuff out of books! Why not go on the computer and research things that can spice up your classroom.
  • Katie Pruiksma on 14 Nov 11
     
    This is a great resource for teachers to use in their classrooms to enhance learning. It has a WIDE variety of useful tools that can make learning more fun and engaging. I would recommend that the teacher scans through these options prior to opening them up to students. The teacher could select a few good ones and show them to the students to use during class or at home. I do no have any bookmarks similar to this one, but I am sure there are a lot out there that could be just as helpful. Thanks for sharing the great resource!

    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.
  • anonymous on 13 Nov 11
     
    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.
  • Min Zhang on 13 Nov 11
     
    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.

    This is a graphic organizer similar to inspiration. It allows to outline content showing relationships between topics. Easy way to go over the main ideas and expand on them while not just presenting a lot of text.
  • Alison Leytem on 14 Nov 11
     
    I really like that you posted this, because I have been looking for an alternative to Inspiration for a long time! It is even better that it is online and can be used from anywhere. I think that both teachers and students could use this resource: teachers for outlining concepts when delivering lessons to students, and students when studying or creating presentations to use with the class. It would be extremely useful in an English classroom, so you could outline the themes of a piece of literature, without getting too "wordy." I haven't found anything else like this online, so I will have to keep looking. Great post!
  • Mikael Rein on 14 Nov 11
     
    I really like this post. I was actually was just looking at this before I saw this post. I think that this site would be able to be used very effectively in the classroom. Students could start their mind map at school and also be able to access it from home on the internet. I believe that this resource can be used by both students and teachers. Everyone brainstorms and this site allows for you to save what you have been working on in your profile. Another mind mapping resource that I have found is called spicynodes. It is the same concept with a different interface.

    Twitter is a social networking site. It can be very beneficial to educators if you follow colleagues and prominent figures in education. Twitter allows you to share articles and resources that are relevant to their interests and education. When you follow people who are in the education you can find lots of new valuable resources that are posted.

    I currently have a twitter account, but do not use it that often. I think if used for the right reasons, it can be very benefical to educators. Twitter is a great way to share ideas and new resources with other educators. I would highly recommend using twitter with colleagues and not students. Trying to find a way to incorporate twitter with your students could create an unsafe learning environment, and would be hard to monitor all students especially in the younger grades.
  • Molly Oleson on 14 Nov 11
     
    Dear Twitter Tweethearts! I have a twitter account and I love it! I follow celebrities mostly though just to get in on the good gossip. Just for this reason though, I don't think it should be used for schools. Perhaps at the collegiate level like I have done in some of my classes, but for high school or younger could possibly break out into bullying on the website towards a student and in some cases a teacher.
  • Katie Pruiksma on 14 Nov 11
     
    Twitter is a very popular social networking site that many businesses, celebrities, and peers use to interact with each other. I have often been told to use twitter in my classroom. However, I am hesitant about doing this. As Joe mentioned, I do not think I would want my students to get involved in twitter during school hours under my supervision. As with Facebook, I believe twitter has the potential to become more of a distraction than a positive. It could open up a window for cyber-bulling and gossiping. On the other hand, I can see that having a twitter account to keep in contact with parents could be beneficial.

    This site shows you how to create podcasts for your classroom. Some suggestions this site gives for using podcasts are: weekly classroom news broadcast, document a field trip and, record a class discusson.
  • Alison Leytem on 14 Nov 11
     
    I think resource has great potential for use in a classroom. I would probably use it myself, as a teacher, to learn how to record my English class discussions, or to do posts on different authors or other topics and send them out to my students. It could also be a great tool to use for students, helping them consider taking a different angle on the typical project or presentation. Apple gives another great how-to on creating and using podcasts here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html. We should consider multiple forms of expression, not just text, when using digital technology with students; listening can be so useful!
  • Melanie Abbas on 14 Nov 11
     
    Podcasts are great ways to record classroom lectures in college. I would think it would be useful for staff and students. However, I have never listened to a podcast myself, so I don't know how well they meet the needs of a student. I'm also wondering if because of more availability of video recordings of classrooms that podcasts are diminishing.

    A good site! It's kinda like a academic video tutorial library. The resources here are really amazing! It provides video tutorials with different subjects (most of them are about math) and different levels to students and allows them to practice what they have learned through online testing. I think it's a good resource for home schooling students. Thanks for sharing!

    This is an interesting website! When I was looking at it, I wanted to bookmark it for myself to show my high school teachers. It could be used for teachers and students, but not only that parents can go on there too! I am not strong in the math area so this would be perfect for me!
  • Katie Pruiksma on 14 Nov 11
     
    This is a great website! I have seen this mentioned on the news a couple of months ago. It has a lot of interactive videos for students and teachers to use to enhance learning. This would be a great site to show students at the beginning of the year so they can reference for assistance throughout the year. Bookmarking it now! I am unaware of any other similar sites at this point.

    This is a great tool for math and science teachers. It's a really good resource for kids to have when they are struggling with a concept. When it's uploaded as video they can chose their own pace by pausing the video. I myself have used YouTube videos like this to help me learn something new.

    This is a great blog, it is also one that is posted daily. This makes it extremely useful and worth my time to check. She has so many resources for any type of technology out there. This is blog is designed for teachers but is useful for students in the college of education.

    Vicki Davis is a pioneer for using online applications and Web 2.0 with students. She is a superwoman! I agree with Hailey, this blog is extremely useful for teaching candidates, because it provides us with real life examples (Vicki's students and the FCP) of how online education is working! I think this resource would prove more useful to teachers because it discusses many different things that a teacher might face, and she also relates personal stories for examples. It kind of gives us some perspective on what we might expect when using web apps and online learning in the classroom. Angela Maeirs' education blog is a similar type of blog, and both women are incredibly inspiring teachers.

    I definitely agree that this resource can be used efficiently in my own future classroom. I LOVE math, and enjoyed looking through this website. I liked how it included a teachers corner that gives teachers many ideas and tips on how to use the videos and games in a math lesson/unit. This resource is geared towards both students and teachers; the games and videos are mainly for students benefit, but the teachers corner is also a great resource for teachers. There are many other great websites that include interactive games and videos for teachers to use with their students (as well for students to practice on their own at home). Some examples are: http://illuminations.nctm.org/, http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html, and http://gregtangmath.com/.

It is inviting to them because of the social aspect, yet remains safer than other social networking sites could be.

    An overview of web 2.0 in the classroom. This article shares examples of various educators who have used web 2.0 as a way to engage their students. The examples include both instances of success and failure. This is valuable for educators who are unsure whether or not to implement web 2.0 tools, such as blogs, into their curriculum. It can be used as a preventative measure or as a guide for instructors attempting to explore web 2.0.
