Best Web 2.0 Educational Tool?
I would like people to share what they feel is the best Web 2.0 tool that they have used or would like to use with students. If you could use "one" Web 2.0 tool what would it be? This could be a great way for people to compile a working list of tools and the websites where they are located. I know it may not be easy, but please only give your number one choice.

ePals LearningSpace, because it integrates multiple web 2.0 tools into a single, safe virtual workspace. It has TRUSTe certification and also comes with a collaborative community of classroooms in 200 countries. http://learningspace.epals.com
This is the platform that the International Baccalaureate is using for all its schools worldwide starting July 2010.

Hmmm. Just one is a pretty hard request to make of people. I am doing a "23 Things" project right now that is focused on Web 2.0 tools. I am going to say that customized start pages are my favorite Web 2.0 tool. I love for the info to come to me instead of me going to the info. Two of my favorites start pages are Pageflakes and Netvibes.

Hello,
My name is Jesse, and I am finishing up a career change graduate program to teach middle school science. I just wanted to say thank you for the very helpful "23 Things" project. I am enrolled in an advanced technology course, and I found your site quite informative amidst all of my required projects that I am not the most tech savvy with. I want to grow with the latest technology to keep up with my future students. There are so many valuable, yet often overwhelming resources to explore. Thank you for making these tools accessible for a new teacher to understand.

I should note my material was gotten through Creative Commons and is redistributable through the same license. I'm glad you found it of use. I must say that writing the 23 Things takes much more time than teaching a face-to-face workshop which is what I normally do.

Assuming this does not ask for "cloud-computing" tools like Google Apps, I would say Delicious for sure!

I have just found a site that allows students to publish their work: www.lulu.com
I'm studying primary teaching and came across this as part of my ICT unit. I will share it with the teachers at the school I assist in and see what they think.
Perhaps someone has tried it and can let us know what it's like?
Regards,
Kyla.
