This blog has followed social gaming juggernaut Zynga's progress for a couple years now. One of its most popular gaming apps is FarmVille, which runs on Facebook and touts an estimated 70 million players, making it one of, if not the, most popular games ever. Testaments to the game's popularity abound. i opted to post this here as we are debating the use of Web 2.0 tools in education. Farmville dominated Facebook games for a number of years, and educators made use of this trend to enhance their teaching. Though it has not been developed for educational purposes, i know even teachers of business studies who used it in their classes with students 13+ of age. This example should encourage us to make use of what is trending and popular with our students to our advantage!

I know many people use Google Docs for collaboratIve wrItIng - I used to use Google Docs all the tIme as well, but OneNote OnlIne Is my new favorIte! It has a book-lIke layout and you can create several tabs for dIfferent groups so everyone has theIr own space (theIr own page In a tab), whIch Is less confusIng than Google Docs.
