Collaborating+with+Web+2.0





What does all this Web 2.0 stuff really mean? Simply put it's the readability and writability of the Internet. In more detail, it is the use of interactive and productive applications on the Internet for the purposes of production, collaboration, communication, storage, networking and learning. The best thing about most Web 2.0 tools is that they are typically FREE! However, remember that it is not the tools themselves that are most valuable, but how we use them for achieving student learning.

Why should we use these tools for collaboration? media type="youtube" key="e7oFzmr9_M4" height="344" width="425"

//This is a list of just some of the many Web 2.0 tools available. Take some time to peruse the sites and think of some of the ways that they may enhance student learning in your classroom. There is not a one size fits all so I have tried to include as many different kinds of applications as possible. It is always helpful to have students and parents sign a contract of expectations for use of these Web 2.0 to eliminate some unncessary problems down the road. Sometimes the sites may be blocked by the filter at school, soi be sure to test it out ahead if time. If it is blocked but has educational relevance and safety, speak to the Technology Administrator about allowing access to the site.// [|**Google Docs**] [|**Think Free**] [|**Zoho**] [|**Scribd**] ||= **Concept Mapping** [|**Thinkature**] [|**Gliffy**] [|**Mywebspiration**] [|**Mindomo**] ||= **Online Media Converters** [|**Zamzar**] [|**ConvertTube**] [|**MediaConvert**] ||= **Online Video Conferencing** [|**Skype**] [|**MeBeam**] [|**Oovoo**] ||= **Online Surveys** [|**Poll Everywhere**] [|**Google Docs Spreadsheet Form**] [|**Survey Monkey**] [|**Poll Daddy**] || [|**Voicethread**] [|**Mixbook**] [|**Slide**] [|**Slideshare**] ||= **Online Photo Tools** [|**FotoFlexer**] [|**Photoshop Express**] [|**flauntR**] [|**befunky**] [|**Picnik**] [|**Mosaickr**] ||= **Online Virtual Classrooms, Blogs, Wikis Schoolwires** [|**Wordpress**] [|**Edublog**] [|**21Classes**] [|**Weebly**] [|**PB Wiki**] [|**Wetpaint**] [|**Wikispaces**] ||= **Classroom Tools** [|**Spelling City**] [|**Read the Words**] [|**Bitstrips**] [|**Printable Paper**] [|**4Teachers**] [|**Easybib**] [|**HangWord**] [|**ClassTools Timeline**] [|**Puzzlemaker**] ||= **Miscellaneous** [|Starfall] [|National Library of Virtual Manipulatives] [|When is Good] [|Visible Body] [|Brainy Betty] [|City Creator] [|Dropio] [|Go2Web 2.0] [|Scratch] [|Cover It Live] [|Glogster] [|Wordle] || [|Animoto] [|CamStudio] [|Jing] [|PhotoStory] ||= **Online Learning Courseware** [|MIT] [|Stanford on itunes] [|Berkley Webcast] [|UC Irvine] ||= **Podcasting** [|mypodcast] [|Audacity] [|Podbean] ||= **Social Bookmarking** [|Delicious] [|Diigo] ||
