Here's is the compilation of current Web 2.0 Favorites: (I will post
the document on my wiki later http://booktalksandmore.pbworks.com) By
far the most popular of those mentioned were Glogster, Animoto, wikis,
Voicethread, and xtranormal.
Thanks everyone for sending me your 5 Fave Web 2.0 tools/toys! :-)
Wordle- word cloud generator http://www.wordle.net/ or tagxedo.com
The following sites show how word clouds are used in teaching/learning.
Discussion board sites:
ProBoards or other discussion board sites (class discussions)
File Storage and Sharing:
Dropbox - use anywhere in the world to access your files.
4Shared: for hosting videos that I've captured using Firefox Downloader
Suggestions for using various tools:
Use Voki to record students describing something they've learned, using
just 60 seconds of recording time. These can be presented to class
fulfilling technology standards and presentations.
Use a blog or wiki to post a student avatar or picture creation and have
students post comments about the avatar or picture. (Voki)
Some of the teachers at my school used voicethread with K classes.
Really cute although the teacher could be heard prompting them. I think
younger kids could use it for info on famous people. In small groups
they could find the important info and then record it one at a time on
voicethread: one tells where and where born, another tells about
education, another tells about family and another tells about what they
did and why we remember them.
Recommended for staff-- Jog the Web, Jing, and Youblisher
Making Video or audio projects/digital storytelling:
Glogster.com- multi-dimensional learning! So fun and and easy
tool to use. (interactive posters)
Animoto- Good for all ages.
o Here's one example for younger children- take pictures of kids
in the library and create an animoto video for them to see. Can they
find their picture?
o I have used Animoto with first and second graders and they loved
it. I have also used Bookr.
Voicethread, GarageBand, or Audacity - use for story
re-tellings, podcasts, book reports,
Blabberize.com - so cool! Example using Blabberize.com to show
Using Wikis or Blogs:
Wikispaces- The students use wikis mainly to publish their work and peer
review.
wordpress.com-for blogging (good for monitored peer review)
Blogger.com- good blog site.
Ning.com - good for building community within a classroom.
Gaggle.net - safe (filtered), online learning tools.
Examples of blogs and wikis in practice- http://ktoponce.wikispaces.com/ - this one is a great example of a class
wiki/blog. http://fuhsag.wikispaces.com/ - another great example of a wiki in use.
Great examples: My main blogsite address is- http://newresearchprocess.blogspot.com
And the main site for my middle schoolers is: http://centralmslibrary.blogspot.com
From these sites, the right menu has the blogs I create
for each collaborative unit.

Teachers at my school really like ReadThinkWrite.org. We've used their
comic creator and acrostic poem maker

crostic-poems-30045.html
xtranormal.com (students create cartoons to tell a story, teach a skill,
discuss a topic, and more!)
Big Huge Labs- great for a variety of uses. Motivational posters,
trading cards, magazine covers, etc.
This has a great list of applications-
