What book should I read about Web 2.0 applications and Education?
I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for, but I do know I don't want an explanation of what 2.0 applications are. I've seen several titles mentioned about the subject, but would like to hear what people think is the best out there. Suggestions?

If you really want to bend your mind, read Clay Shirkey's Here Comes Everybody. It's not specifically about education, but it's about the dramatic changing that the read/write web is bringing.
Education specific:
Web 2.0: New Tools, New Schools by Gwen Solomon and Lynne Schrum
Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms by Will Richardson
Classroom Blogging: 2nd Edition by David Warlick

I only know the Richardson and Warlick books and both are excellent. I have not yet seen the third one that Steve lists here, but knowing him, I am sure it is a worthy resource.

I'd go with Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Tools for the Classroom by Will Richardson. It's easy to read with lots of practical applications.
