A colleague and I put together a presentation on Web 2.0 apps a little over a year ago.

 

The wiki we put together can be found here: http://web-20-nido.wikispaces.com/

 

Hope it helps...:)

Derwin,

This is a wonderful resource. Thanx for sharing. Here's the link to my website where I've been collecting  Web2.0 resources for the last 2 years: http://sites.google.com/site/faithsfiles/

Enjoy!

PS: What does AASSA stand for?

Hi Faith,

 

Looking forward to checking out your resources.  I love Web 2.0.  AASSA stands for Association of American Schools in South America.

 

I'm Canadian but have been teaching abroad for the past 10 years.  At the time, I was working at the International School of Nido de Aguilas in Santiago, Chile.

 

Take care,

Derwin

I really like Dreamlines which generates dreamy images related to your search term. I think it makes an interesting prompt for any sort of creativity, and I wrote about how I'd use it with kids on my blog recently.

SchoolTube.com is a great fun and moderated video websharing site that you can use in your classroom and not worry about inappropriate content!  There is even a Elementary Category where you can see all sorts of videos pertaining to elementary level topics.

Great way to introduce media sharing as well with your students.  The Educators Page is filled with all sorts of video sharing resources as well to assist you if needed.  It is also a free resource for in class usage where if you create videos they can be accessed and stored.  You can embed any of SchoolTube videos as well on your own webpages or even create a classroom channel.  This is one of thousands of videos that you can find on SchoolTube.
