Steve, I agree. That would be a great place to start for the one I was talking to you about for the Killeen, Texas area. I would love to do a presentation at any here in Texas, really.<br />

By the way, I just joined a <a href="http://internetaula.ning.com/">Ning in Spain</a> that is similar to CR 2.0.

Jennifer,<br />

Before you blog with your students - try some blogging yourself. It'll help you get a sense for some of the possibilities. Then, take the idea to your students and explore together. Edublogs is easy enough for you to use to get started.

Well done, Steve, I could not agree more with your comments. Blogging is a good, reasonably easy to use platform to start with, and I think a "how to start for the real beginner" would be wonderful as a live conversation. I would have loved to have had that when I first started.

Thanks, Adina.... and Jennifer, THAT is the great use of cr2.0.... that we help each other, give guidance and how-tos and mentor each other! Nobody just stays here <u>thinking</u> about it, I'm sure! That is why I love it and have recommended it t everyone and have invited several others to join. I just started in October and I'm still learning.

Given what you've said, and with true sympathy for the complexity of all this, I'd start with blogging. You'll ultimately find limits with using blogging as your only platform, and when you do, you can move on--but that's in the future. Right now blogging will help you just to start getting the projects and discussions up!<br />
<br />
If you do feel brave, a wiki service like Wikispaces will give you a lot more flexibility--but there's a bit more of a learning curve for wikis.<br />

You can go to the free educator version by registering and then checking K12 in the "Pro" option.<br />

I last used Photostory in a student reflection project for Open House. I photographed and uploaded students' self portrait drawings. Students then wrote/recorded self-reflections to go with them that talked about what they are most proud of in terms of new knowledge or academic improvement, as well as what they still want to improve.<br />

<a href="http://gears.google.com/">Google Gears</a> is a new tool from Google that allows you to use some applications offline. I use it to go through my Google Reader feeds because my internet access at school and wireless at home can be temperamental.<br />

To add further to the conversation, sometimes we need to try out personally the different web2.0 tools, so that we get to understand their potential and possible use in the classroom. It is only once we are comfortable with the tools, that we can see just how it can be used for educational purposes. Once studetns come on board, they push the software to the boundaries and even further applications can be discovered.
