I was reading Skips blog and clicked on Sue Summerfords site called, “Web 2.0 for the classroom Teacher”. What a great site. Information overload! This site should be called, “Everything you wanted to know about Web 2.0 Tools but you were afraid to ask”. The site is located at http://www.kn.att.com/wired/fil/pages/listweb20s.html.

The site is filled with all kinds of applications to use along with the tutorials to get you started. Many of the sites you visit will provide links to other helpful sites to use. I will go back to this site to put together a few new lesson plans.

One of the links Sue provided is called, “Back to school with the class of Web 2.0”. The author, Brian Benzinger” gives many links to helpful tools that can be used in the classroom.  The URL is http://www.solutionwatch.com/512/back-to-school-with-the-class-of-web-20-part-1/. Just a few of the many helpful sites Brian offers are classroom related to make life in the classroom more enjoyable. One site called gradefix will help students organize their homework to fit with there busy schedule. http://www.gradefix.com/. Another program is called Chalksite, a system built for teachers, students, and parents providing teachers with an easy to use central point where they can communicate with students and parents, post assignments and grades, send messages, and manage a website for their courses. http://www.chalksite.com/.

So check out this site and give Skip or I some feed back on your findings. Happy hunting.
