====**September 2008 Web 2.0 Class (the original class :))** [|Bubblesnap] [|mynoteIT] [] Wait until you all try the Tafiti website! I experimented with this, because it promises a new way to do research. Although I cannot say that I have it all figured out yet I do think the interface is BEAUTIFUL ...I used simple refine option in the upper right corner to sort by "edu". (If the link does not come up on "Tree" view please click there!! That is the best part. -Susan DeBacker http://www.tafiti.com/#p This is a resource that you might want your media centers to purchase. (12.95) It is about netiquette and teaches you the right way to participate in blogs, emails, wikis and other Web 2.0 tools. http://www.swref.com/books/9780955461408/ Patrick Crispen is a featured speaker at many technology conferences. He keeps up with the latest and greatest. His site is netsquirrel.com GJ Hopkins For Fun!!! Forgive me is this appears twice. It's late and I don't seem to be able to get it right! Check out what I did in five minutes ( or did Sandi already have this one?) [] The website is [|http://animoto.com] and is free and not blocked. I have another one for science teachers http://www.discoveryeducatornetwork.com/default.cfm It has all kinds of resources including blogs, discussion groups and webinars. There is a problem though, many of these resources happen on EduIsland, the DEN part of Second Life (Second Life is a virtual world), and you guessed it, Second life is blocked!!! The blogs for the discovery education network can be found at http://discoveryeducation.typepad.com/ See you all tomorrow night, I 'm up for dinner! Ann Brennan The item I found was Bubbleshare at http://www.bubbleshare.com/ this is another slide show that can be added to your web page. I found this on one of my Epal's page (from New Zealand) I've not used it yet but it is something I could easily use in the classroom. Jackie Petty My site is Tadalist - [|www.tadalist.com] - it allows you to make a to do list and share it with others. I can see my social studies fair project groups using this the keep everyone organized and on task. Robin White==== = = On rare occasions (HA!) I may forget why I bookmark a webpage. Without having to read through the entire page you can make sticky notes on it. Before there was a sticky note on the web, I invested in a supply. So this one will be good for me. http://fleck.com/ Carol D

I think Teacher Tube will be a great space to showcase "stuff" that the students create. [|www.teachertube.com] Robert D.

Ok, I am a little behind and overwhelmed as usual. So many choices, so little time. Anyways, I found a site that I think the kids will have a blast with. It is called Snapvine and found at www.snapvine.com It is a way to add voice messages, blogs, etc. to your website, blogs or other media. You can download a voice player, attach it to your blog or webpage and then use your cell phone to leave messages. I haven't worked all the kinks out yet, but I think my students especially would be more apt to respond if all they had to do was "call" and leave me a message. This is something I cam going to try get them to do at home or after school and see how it goes. The phone numbers are kept private and you get a "code" to access your comments. [|SNAPVINE] I hope it works as cool as I think it will. Robyn Mattson

[|www.voki.com] is an avatar creator. You can choose the head, clothing, etc. and make it talk. You can put in on your blog or website. Camille Ward

[|www.blurb.com] is a site to create books. It is a good resource to compile students' work for portfolios. Claudia Larrotta

This is fun for presentations. It is easy to use. Pictures are easy to find. Donna Frye www.viewbook.com
