http://classroomblogging.wikispaces.com/%3E+Using+Wikis This is a wiki, but it's filled with ideas from a teacher of how to use Wikis. It also has ideas on how to use blogging. She also provides ways to organize and setup how the kids will blog. She lists advantages and disadvantages on ways to have the kids blog.

[] I like the All About Me project. I have done that with students, but not on a computer. She also has 3 different wikis going. They seem to be setup like a webpage with many links. I think we could learn a lot about wikis by looking through hers.

http://educationalwikis.wikispaces.com/ This site has ideas of how to use wikis from education.


 * Web 2.0 in Teacher Tools**

[] This site allows you to take pictures of the screen and make notes or video and then upload it. Then you, or someone you are conferencing with, can click on the link and see or hear what you wanted to show them. So, in other words, you don't have to be right there with them to show them something. Also, you can use this for training. One testimonial of how to use it came from a teacher who introduced it to her 7th grade math students. They got excited about it and would record themselves doing math problems. They did that both in the classroom and on their own time at home. Then they would show their class the video. I say, whatever gets the kids motivated to do math problems is a great resource!

[] This is a site that you can interact with educators and discuss ways to use We 2.0 in the classroom.

[|www.blabberize.com] I like this because it makes a presentation interesting for kids. You just put up a pictuer, isolate the mouth of the person in the picture with their tool, add audio by using existing audio, or make with microphone or phone. Then you play it.

[|www.voicethread.com] I used this to make my oral presentation and I love it! I think this is what I would use the most of all. I feel like I have more control when using it.
