Jennifer Arns presented this session on my favorite thing - Web 2.0 tools. Although we struggled with our internet connection and bandwith (hard to imagine the number of laptops running in the GWCC at one time!) I learned of some new tools that I am anxious to try.

What is Web 2.0
- The Read Write Web
- Collaboration
- Networking
Spresent – Online Powerpoint application – can be viewed online or published in your blog wiki. Looking at upload PowerPoint files
Furl and Delicious – social bookmarking tool. You can make your Furl website social by posting them on your website
TrailFire – you can create a path (trail) of webpages. When you want it control the sites that kids go to. Find a site you like, click you trail icon, write a description or directions on what you want the kids to do. It is a social bookmark if you make your trail public, you can also make a comment or answer. How do I get a trail on my page? How do you link to just your class? questgarden.com – for making webquests
Embedded Tools
PollDaddy.com
Survey Monkey – for more intensive applications
Questionform – embeds a survey to your blog - free
Go2Web2.0.net – The Complete Web 2.0 directory
Edtechconnection.net
Twitter.com
