  •  
    This is the collection of online tools and applications. It's convenient to find the tools that you need by looking at the sidebar distribution list. Highly recommend!
  •  
    There are alot great sites with 2.0 tools out there. This is one of them. These sites are really helpful.
  •

New Web 2.0 tools for education | Scoop.it - 0 views

  •  
    Tools teachers can use in their classroom - a very nice collection of applications and/or software for teachers. Although some of the applications are older Web2.0 tools, they still prove to be highly useful and effective in the classroom. Really cool aggregate resource site for tools you might need someday!
  •  
    I think this is good app collection. I believe it is very useful because the site explain a little bit how to use the apps

Teaching English using web 2.0 - 3 views

  •  
    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.

Audioboo - 1 views

  •  
    Audio Boo is a web 2.0 tool that allows you to record, attach pictures and location, then post to the web. This would be a good tool for group projects, partners could record ideas and thoughts where ever they are and then post for their entire group or instructor to listen.
  •  
    Free audio recording tool you can use from the computer or your mobile phone.
  •  
    This sounds very interesting. My first time hearing of this. I think this would be a good tool to use. I just have to learn more about it.

    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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!

    I like this website. Think it will be a great resource for teachers to use because it breaks down how everything works. I would use this as a resource for my classroom. I believe this site contains a lot of information that our students need to learn about.
  •  
    I love this diigo assignment. One of the most taxing problems as a teacher will be to find resources to use in the classroom. This is a resource of resources for teachers.
  •  
    This site has endless possibilities. I like all of the possible resources you can get from it.

  •  
    If your looking for the right web 2.0 tool to meet a specific level of Blooms Taxonomy this is the place to go. A detailed chart indicating which tools associate in each area.
  •  
    This resources use of a pyramid allows teachers to quickly differentiate what technological tools will be most appropriate for specific learning goals matched to Bloom's Taxonomy. This will mainly be used by teachers but some students will find it easy to understand and can use it for developing student-lead projects that are on the Bloom's "create" level. I do not know of any other resources that link taxonomy and technology together in such an efficient manner.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this resource Destery. Lately, apps for mobile devices (particularly iOS devices) organized by Blooms has been buzzing on Twitter. Here is a site called "Bloomin' Android," by Kathy Schrock, that organizes Android apps on the revised Blooms Taxonomy. (http://kathyschrock.net/androidblooms/).
  •  
    I went out and found the "Bloomin iPad" information she put together as well. I found quite a few helpful apps on the list, thanks for the information.
  •  
    This is great. Just learned about Bloom last month. It is good to have a resource that will help in directing me towards apps that will go along with the targeted part of the taxonomy. I think this will be used mostly by teachers.

Atmosphir - Free design tool and platformer videogame - 1 views

  •  
    This is for those that would like to see more gaming in education. This tool allows you to create your own levels. These levels could be designed to fit a lesson in your class, or even have students create them. There does seem to be some cost in the store.

    Vicki Davis, who runs the Cool Cat Teacher blog, is also active on Twitter and posts insightful tweets.
  •  
    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 like how there are daily posts to the website. As a teacher candidate i would consider using this site a lot in the future.
  •  
    I have been following this blog for a little over a year now. I feel like this blog is an excellent resource for teachers. This blog shows educators how they can incorporate these new applications or tools into their own teaching. This is one of the best educational blogs that I have ever come across.
  •  
    This is the first time I have seen this blog. I believe this is a great way for educators to learn new ways to incorporate new tools into their classrooms. It seems to update often, and I plan on viewing this resource in the future, because of the interesting topics that are being blogged about.
  •  
    I've been following this blog and I also follow her on twitter. She has some great ideas and I really enjoy reading her posts.

slideshow.com - Publish and Share Your PowerPoint Presentations online - 1 views

  •  
    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.

    Screen-cast-o-mastic is a free screen recording, screen capture software. It can be accessed through the web on any computer, anywhere, and you can record up to 15 minutes worth of actions and narration. Great for responding to student questions where a visual walk through can be more benificail than a long email.
  •  
    I will definitively use this in my future classroom.I have used Jing in the past successfully but this tool has 10 more minutes of free recording than Jing does. This tool can be used both by teachers and students. Students can use this tool to create projects or for presentations. Jing can be found at: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html?gclid=CI2alve0jqwCFQXt7QodBF6zdw
