4 - [|http://voicethread.com] - VoiceThread is a collaborative, multimedia slideshow that allows students to comment on images, documents, and video through text, video, and audio files. (L. Bynoe)

5. Check out ed.voicethread.com - for educators and students (Jenny Murphy)

====6 - Weebly.com - An excellent combo of blog and website. Easy for students to add many widgets to their favorite Web 2.0 tools, too. It is possible to add a blog page with commenting. This site is approved for use for History Day projects, too, so it will most likely be around for awhile. This sample project using Weebly and Voicethread was complete by High School Juniors who had read and analyzed the novel, //Their Eyes Were Watching God.// Group Weebly pages were linked to one main Weebly page so that all finished projects were accessible to the class and teachers. Students evaluated and graded the finished projects.==== Sue

7 - [|Discovery Education 2.0 Tools] (J. Mutchler) This site gives tons of examples, tips, and tools for teachers looking to add technology to their teaching practices.

[|Web 2.0 for Teachers] (J.Mutchler) Web 2.0 for Teachers is a comprehensive, organized site that provides many tools and resources for teaching.

9 - For Google lovers: Kathy Schrocks' Google Tools to support Blooms Taxonomy: [|Bloomin Google!] Added by CBaldiga

10 - Glogster Use Glogster with students to create online interactive posters and share electronically. (Jenny Murphy)

11 - [|Piratepad] Similar to a wiki - it provides users the opportunity to collaborate with other users on documents. I have seen it used where it is projected onto a whiteboard, the students are given the specific assigned link and a question to answer and as each student replies at their computer their response appears in a different color on the thread.

12. [|Vuvox] Great tool if you are tired of PowerPoints. I used this with 7th, 8th and high school students for digital book reports. One student actually took it a step further and created a time for one of his projects. There is a video tutorial http://www.markbrumley.com/Best_Web_20_Lesson_Ever.html

13. [|Edutecher.net]

This is my favorite GO TO whenever I need an idea for myself (or the teachers) in my school. You can search for a Web 2.0 tool by topic, subject, or grade. You can write feedback about specific took, and/or share tools you like with others. I added it to my RSS feeds and have been following them on Twitter.

14. [|Myth and Legend Creator]

This is a great site where students can read/hear/watch animated myths and legends, and write their own stories. Interactive, fun, & engaging.

15. [] I have used this site a few times as a resource, but I haven't had a chance to see all it has to offer and have always wanted too. It seems to be a great resource. (Holly)
