I totally LOVE Voicethread! It gives my students a chance to create a variety of different projects while offering a chance to give feedback in cool ways!

Though delicious is nice - diigo for education is better. communication via social bookmarking w/ student accounts. All free

I like the simplicity of Google Bookmarks. One username and password for a myriad of tools, congrats Google!

tooble.tv is my favorite little thing for converting youtube videos to quicktime :)

Prezi must be mentioned!

Doodle.com for scheduling meetings when everyone is available. If everyone isn't on google, this helps!

CVPat says

I prefer Buzzword over Google Docs with my MS students. Attractive interface, fewer features. Less is more with younger students.

I'm always learning from you.
I would add Diigo social marks to a Top Ten list. Thanks for sharing your expertise once agian! Judy Gressel

Janet says

I love Animoto because it is easy to use and gives excellent results quickly.

@shupester says

Definition of Terms for what Web 2.0 is? Also be interesting to see what context (PLN-professional development, elementary or secondary classroom?)

Erica says

I love Edmodo.com. It allows me to communicate with students. They submit their work on line and can view their grades as soon as I finishing grading them.

NedraI says

I like Google Docs. I teach in 2 bldgs so I never have to worry about where a document is saved. I love using Google Forms with both students and teachers.

JLB says

Delicious.com for online bookmarking. Also use tags for websites that provide resources to students, and give parents URL+tag to see my choices.

@shupester says

Etherpad is a straightforward, easy to use and a lot of fun for a spontaneous collaboration activity for students.

I also appreciate tools like rssinclude.com

JLB says

pbworks.com. I use a premium wiki to have students work collaboratively on chemistry projects and group lab reports.

atruger says

Love Wikispaces! Can't get more professional development than on Twitter and Plurk!

techiethom says

Thinkfinity has something for everyone.

MrsMartin says

DISCOVERY of course! I also use delicious everyday, but I get a LOT of information out of plurk.com more so than Twitter

For use with students, I'd say Wikispaces is really awesome. Can be used as a reader with rss widget, collaboration with no student email needed, ePortfolios...

Cliotech says

Glogster Edu is a terrific tool to tap into students' creative minds and allow them to create multimedia learning artifacts

Mrs. Morra says

Wordle is still a favorite. Make word clouds out of text in any language.

Cliotech says

WordSift is an amazing literacy tool - works great with digital text - perfect for an interactive white board - revising/editing tool for students, too

CoveritLive - Embed conversations on your school website, wiki or blog. *It is a Teacher moderated web 2.0 tool.
