What a great resource for all the award winning web 2.0 "things". I knew about a few...I am a big Facebook fan...love the social networking and I have found it is easy to share photos, connect with friends, book babysitters...we even got all organized for our 20 year reunion and found people we hadn't seen in years...all on Facebook.
Some new ones I liked were: wufoo (what a great way to survey staff and use for pd) I'm Cooked was great...my husband is really into cooking so I can't wait to share that with him. And I really could have used Cocktail Builder that week of vacation when it was so rainy and cold! :)
I think there are several things that could be applied to school...I would even think Facebook could be used in school instead of it being blocked. Like the message in Thing 16...kids are using it...there might be a way to use it with them...a group discussion page...or becoming a fan of a certain concept....book reviews...math support...just a few ideas!
But, like all new things, there would have to be some ground rules or expectations...as a teacher using some of these tools, I would want to make sure that I was really knowledgeable about the site...
I am off to explore more...this is such a great adventure!!!
