I teach chemistry online, and I have used IM and pronto to let students collaborate and form online study groups, but I've not used blogs. I am investigating wikis.
With your interest in Web 2.0 Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.
Here’s a Public Class on Technology Integration you might be interested in.
I have a special interest in working with math teachers who want to incorporate Web 2.0 tools into their work. If you're ever looking for someone to do hands-on workshops or even collaborate with teachers right in their classrooms, please let me know at mshellman@telus.net.
