This site gives us a quick overview of what web 2.0 is doing and where it is taking us with technology. It is a video that shows us how far we have come since 1996 working with HTML and now working so much with digital.

This is a free private journal on the web. How much fun would to use the web to keep track of your daily journal entries at school. These entries can be shared with others ONLY when you allow them to be. Images can be added on entries as well. Those who keep a journal are known to have a better "working memory." Keeping a journal also improves the writing process and aids in creativity. No more pen and pencil for journals after today!

This is just the first step in making education and technology more engaging for educators and students! Glogster is also a perfect web 2.0 tool for your learning and your WIKIs.

A wiki is a page or collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. Wikispaces then, is built to work anywhere, anytime. All you need is a web browser and an Internet connection. Members can create pages and spaces without undue restrictions or rules. Guests can edit pages without creating an account. Wiki pages are fully internationalized, so you can contribute content in any language you like. Wikispaces gives groups the freedom to publish pages that are long-lived, regularly updated, and built by many contributors. It gives you the space to both publish and discuss content, without tangling the two together. Wikispaces is designed to be usable for everyone. A visual editor is utilized to let you see the layout and design of your page while you're editing it. No technical knowledge is required. And Wikispaces is fast even in large communities with lots of activity.

This site is a great place to start using wikis. Wikis allow you to post information and collaborate with others on topics. By allowing others to see the wiki you have created, they have the opportunity to edit the information and add to it. This would be a great way to work with others via the internet. This site allows for a lot of possibilities.

This site helps explain the basics of web 2.0 tools to a technology immigrant. It is a great site that would allow educators who are scared to learn about technology, because it is a very simple site that would teach them about what students are using today.

This website is from the National Science Teachers Association professional development. They even have web seminars that you can watch and interact with others. This would be good for my district and those that focus on the content area of science in my district.

Excellent source for spicing up the bland research project! Teachers can grade and comment on project before it is uploaded to the web. Students can create a project such as research on a topic, locate images that are uploaded to each 'side' of the cube, create a Word document with their research info and upload it too! Even interactive hyperlinks can be imbedded into the cube.

This site has a lot of possiblities. Vocie Thread allows the user to post images on the web and hold a discussion via the internet.

Superb directory of Web 2.0 tools, many of which can be used in the classroom.

This is an e-Learning blog. The author of this blog tries to find new web 2.0 tools that would be beneficial to educators who are looking to integrate technology into their classrooms. He describes new tool that he has discovered and shares his thoughts, feelings, and findings about each tool.

I love doing web quests with kids. They are fully engaged, problem solving, and practicing the skills they will use in their adult lives. This site sorts the quests based on grade level and subject area.
