10 Ten Web2.0 Tools - Gail Lovely

1. Wikis.  Gail considers them a bit more flexible thus ranked higher.

Cool Branching Story with the wiki - Teacher starts a story, students add choices for the next step in the story.  Then they write the results.  What a cool idea for collaboration.

2.  Blogs
Gail shared an example where a grade 3 student had 800 readings of her writing.  This level of readership encourages and motivates your readers and writers.  (The comments were moderated by the teacher)

3.  Voice Thread
The ability to publish quickly with multimedia.  Voice, Text, markup, or image.  

I missed the rest of the presentation.  The full presentation http://glovely.wetpaint.com

The special focus with this presentation was aiming at young learners.
