Hi Steve

I really like xtranormal. I have made several “films” for slang exploitation. Animoto is great and very easy to use. I think “apture” is also a very useful tool. I love wordle – it’s brilliant for pre-reading tasks.

[...] A couple of months ago now, I asked people to share with me their top 3 Web 2.0 resources for educators. I was in the process of putting together a presentation and wanted to get some feedback from the general public, and also trying to find some new ones that I hadn’t played around with before that might be worth including.

I recently know Nenest (http://www.nenest.com), which can host any data, picture, table, file attachments, even my chemical structures. I really like it very much.

[...] A few weeks ago, I put out a request for people to post their top three Web 2.0 sites that they use in education. I declined to define Web 2.0 because I didn’t want that to get in the way of people identifying the sites that they found worthwhile. I figured that I could always filter things down myself, and I have been. However, it wasn’t until I read Miguel’s post Nature of 2.0 that I really got a handle on what defines a Web 2.0 site to me.

[...] I’m back at work and getting into the swing of things. Gearing up for conference season and pulling together some presentations. Oh yeah, a HUGE thank you to everybody who responded to the “Favorite Web 2.0 apps” thread. It’s been fun going through it and lots of new apps to explore! [...]

Steve,
These aren’t necessarily Web 2.0 sites but they are FREE and they support struggling learning in all our classrooms. What they do is make the Web 2.0 tools accessible for students with disabilities using principle of Universal Design for Learning. I blogged about these today at http://www.teachingeverystudent.blogspot.com

Please check these out and add them to your resource list. I believe all teachers need to know there are free tools that support kids with learning and other disabilities.

The ones I use the most are Flickr, Furl, Bloglines, Protopage (2.0?) and pbwiki. I like YouTube but don’t look at it much.

Oh… And there is another that I just remembered as I hit the “post” button. CoComment. I use it to help me keep track of converstations on blogs that are otherwise difficult to track. Even blogs that provide a comment feed require that I subscribe to it, if I want to follow comments.

Does Skype really count? That is more of a new use of existing infrastructure than something that’s truly web2.0 — at least as I think of it.

Flikr, blogs in general, wikis in general, del.icio.us are all good and useful things. I like the various Google maps mashups, like that I can publish a map of where I bicycled when I sync my GPS unit to Garmin’s MotionBased.com.
