Want your students to communicate digitally? Try these web 2.0 sites:

[|Nicenet] is a web-based classroom environment. It's a no-frills, easy-to-use communication/sharing of information environment. You must have heard of wikis! Check out [|Wetpaint], Wikispaces,or [|PBwiki]. This is a great video about wikis called "[|Wikis in Plain English]" on Youtube. Journaling has never been easier with [|Penzu]. This is one of my favorite sites for online journaling! Here's an [|interesting article] on Ejournaling from Educause Quarterly. Get your students blogging by using [|Blogger], [|Edublogs], or [|Typepad].They already do it anyway! One of the best image sharing websites out there is [|Flickr]. Most images are copyrite free! If you don't have Adobe Photoshop and need to edit an image (say, for a photostory or online journal) visit [|Picnik]. [|Jumpcut]is a great video-editing website. Don't have a word processor? Try [|Googledocs]. [|Thumbstacks] is a great tool for making and sharing presentations. Think of it as a web-based Powerpoint tool without the Powerpoint. Your students can write collaboritively using [|Writeboard]. One of my favorite places on the web is [|Glogster]. Students can create a media-enhanced scrapbook page. It's so neat! [|Tumblr]is similar to Glogster. Check it out! A neat way to catalogue internet bookmarks is by using [|Delicious]. It's a social networking site as well. Collaborative note-taking is available at [|NoteSake]. Check it out! Collaborative learning is awesome at [|Grockit].
