Web 2.0 Tools

I explored two web 2.0 tools today. The first was blogging in a science classroom. I found the following sites helpful:

• http://outreach.mcb.harvard.edu/teachers/Summer07/KeithHartan/Classroom_blog.pdf
• http://see.ludwig.lajuntaschools.org/?p=442
• http://web2integration.pbworks.com/f/Blogging+science.pdf

I am not convinced that this is the best way to go for science especially higher level chemistry courses; however, I signed up for edublog anyway to explore the possibilities.

Second, I have been inquiring about using twitter in my classroom to communicate with my kids directly at anytime. The physics teacher next to me uses twitter and the kids love it. I will probably look into this in the next few days.
