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.

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 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. Steve,

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. Oh… And there is another that I just remembered as I hit the “post” button. CoComment.

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. Does Skype really count?

Here are a couple that I find interesting. I think swivel.com is an up and comer. Think of it as dabbleDB for graphs and data. A really neat idea that's got some great potential. stikkit.com is another one I just recently got into. It's got some really neat features some are sort wiki like, some are calendar like and some are unique. It a really interesting application. I don't know if MIT's SIMILIE project really counts - it does use a lot of javascript and in some case xml to do some neat things with all their tools (?).

Users/students can create professional looking surveys online, email those surveys to dozens of people and analyze the survey data. Survey Monkey is a real winner! My students and I use it regularly.
