I followed the link http://www.go2web20.net/ to the website and looked at all of the many many MANY Web 2.0 tools. I could not believe my eyes! It was like opening Google Play for my Android phone!!! The two tools I found the most interesting are: PowToon (http://www.go2web20.net/site/?a=Powtoon) and LittleBirdTales (http://www.go2web20.net/site/?a=LittleBirdTales).
These could be a fun way to help me, as a teacher, add variety into my lesson plans. I could make a PowToon to introduce a lesson or make a very short, comical version of a story we are reading in class.
LittleBirdTales could be an interesting project for each child in my classroom. I could have each of them make their own story at the beginning of the school year, and another at the end of the school year. Listening to them both would allow me to see how much more my students have grown in their abilities.
I had no clue that these were out here. I cannot wait to begin using them myself!
I completely agree, there are so many Web 2.0 tools out there. I actually got caught up in the midst of it all and was enjoying playing with all the tools rather than writing my blog about them. I can see so many tools being helpful in everyone's classroom in the near future!
