This wiki provides educational tutorials and web 2.0 tools for me as an educator to use in my classroom and with my students.

Ben - I also agree that this is a great site for educators to use with their students. I have looked through this site for different ideas of tools. I have found it to be most helpful in my search for things. I can see it being useful for both students and educators. I haven't found any other site that has different web 2.0 tools broken down into different categories.

Holy cow this tool is awesome! There are so many tools listed that I have never herad of. Thank you so much for sharing this. This will be extremely useful when looking for new and engaging ways to enhance student learning. This tool could be used for teachers mainly, but if students are looking for a new way to present something, they could use it as a resource. I have seen similar "lists" of tools to use in the classroom, but none to this extent. Thanks for sharing! Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future classroom? Explain why or why not. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. Are you aware of any similar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources.

Pandora is on my list of favorite Web 2.0 tools. There are times I need background music for student activities. Even with the free subscription, you can create a station, mark it so there are no songs with explicit language played, and I have found that if I use my ipad or phone, commercials are fewer in number!

I've seen this used in my daughter's kindergarten classroom by the teacher, for background music. You're right, Becky, it does make for great ambiance while the students are working. What 'channels' do you prefer? For alternatives, you might try GrooveShark (which is great because you can select specific CD's -- my favorites are the movie soundtracks) and I'm just now trying out SoundCloud, which has an Android and iPhone app. Soundcloud has fewer selections than Grooveshark, but a better interface and easier sharing/liking.

Even though this app only works on iPads, I consider it a Web 2.0 tool as well because recorded "ShowMe's" are accessible on your computer. Similar to Educreations, it is an interactive whiteboard. I've used with with elementary students to create social stories. I use my iPad to take a picture of them doing the preferred activity, then have them voice record their own description. Very effective with children with autism!

A Pinterest board that provides links to tools that can be used in the classroom to enhance communication, collaboration, and technology skills, just to name a few.

Blabberize is a fun 2.0 tool that allows you to record your voice with a static photo. Besides, they use a llama on their home page to demonstrate how it's used. What's not to love about that?

I could see a student using this to create an audio story for a classroom exercise. It's pretty ridiculous, but I imagine that's the appeal of it. It looks so simple that it would be a shame to not try it out! And I'm not aware of anything like it, except for JibJab, but that's much more limited in what you can do with it. I just am surprised that the Llama's audio is so poor...

This is a type of presentation service that would be great for digital story telling. It is more exciting than your traditional powerpoint and provides a more visual way for students to present ideas.

Prezi is an excellent presentation tool for both students AND teachers. Many other storytelling aids exist (and there's always PowerPoint), but all the ones I've seen are simply copycats of Prezi. Hand's down, Prezi is the gold standard in Web 2.0 presentationmaking.

My students love viewing content through prezi rather than ppt! I need to expand it to student use next year.

Little Bird Tales gives students a chance to make a digital representation of a story they have created or it also makes a great virtual response portal.

Shmoop offers teachers a place where they can collaborate with fellow teachers online as well as find educational support services for students, teachers, parents, and districts.

Vimeo offers teachers another video resource website other than Youtube. Teachers can find many educational videos on here for free.

I've heard a lot about vimeo and think it would be a great resource for the classroom! This of course would be great for students to use to capture student attention, but I could see older children making their own. Especially if you assigned a topic to them where they had to teach the class the topic. I think this seems a bit more student-appropriate since Youtube can be full of craziness. Do you agree? Have you ever had students make one?
