Easy scheduling | Doodle - 1 views

  •  
    I've use Doodle frequently, because I frequently am in charge of scheduling meetings for 3-10 participants. Doddle allows you to offer dates and times then poll meeting participants as to what works for them. You are then presented with the data and you can then easily select the date and time that works for the majority. Much better than playing phone tag or trying to keep up with multiple emails. It's free to the average user!

Bitly. The power of the link. - 1 views

  •  
    I use bitly all the time! As a frequent user of Google forms, I shorten the link before I share it. Sometimes I'm asking teachers to write a link on their boards to share with students, so this makes is less cumbersome.

ShowMe Interactive Whiteboard on the App Store on iTunes - 1 views

  •  
    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!

Educreations - Teach what you know. Learn what you don't. - 0 views

  •  
    Educreations can be used with an iPad or web browser. It is an interactive white board that allows you to create and voice record video lessons. I've used it to provide students feedback by taking a screenshot of their work, then annotating and recording my thoughts. I've also used it to flip a lesson and to provide lessons when my class is cancelled for weather. There is no such thing as a snowday with Educreations!

  •  
    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?

Pandora Internet Radio - Listen to Free Music You'll Love - 0 views

  •  
    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!

    Storify allows users to create stories by importing content into a timeline. I've seen Storify used to archive tweet chats, such as #iaedchat. I haven't used it personally can certainly see potential uses, such as archiving a class hashtag follow.
