Very cool book for finding out how to use web 2.0 in the class

There are teachers around the world whowant to use technology in their classrooms,but they're just not sure where to start.That's why eleven prominent bloggers,teachers, and school administrators gottogether to create this free ebook

"What's awesome about it is that when you're done sketching, you not only have the drawing but you also have a playback that recreates your drawing from a blank canvas using your exact strokes and techniques! "

nice!

"A website is more informative, while a blog, ning or wiki is more interactive because they allow students to contribute. I actually suggest having both. But because blogs, nings and wikis require constant maintenance, it's nice to have a website that is super-easy to build and edit."

Some good ideas

"Silvia Tolisano who wrote the great Skype section of The Super Book of Web Tools for Educators recently had a great post on her blog that all elementary school teachers interested in digital storytelling should check out. In Creating a Techno-Tale in iMovie Silvia outlines and gives directions for using iMovie to record a book-style movie in which students use their voices to narrate the story. You can read and download all of the directions from Silvia's blog."
