__**Top 10 Web 2.0 Websites**__ Here we go, I'll start off with a few, take some suggestions and add to this as we go. I'm not sure how many of these will be blocked in your district, but we'll get some ideas maybe from these.

1. [|Adobe Connect] - Offered free to CA BOCES schools. Ability to have an online meeting with another class or to bring in a presenter, share content, even to get tech help. Here's our [|West Valley room]!

2. [|Moodle] - Hosted at CA BOCES a free content manager to have your classroom material online in a safe, free virtual environment.

3. Wikispaces - Free, quick and easy website. There are many others like [|PBWiki], [|Wetpaint] and [|GoogleSites].

4. [|Delicious] - Online bookmarking of all of your favorite sites. Plus, you can make it social bookmarking where you share your favorite bookmarks with colleagues, friends and/or relatives. No more saving your bookmarks on one computer, they can be saved, for free, online.

5. [|Google Docs] and/or [|Google Forms], plus a host of other [|Google Tools] - You could spend days on all that Google has to offer as they attempt to take over the world. [|Google Docs] allows you to collaborate in real time on a document and with [|Google Forms] you can share surveys and get data/information back.

6. [|Voicethread] - The ability to create digital media by uploading a picture, video, or even a document that others can come in and comment on and/or draw on to make their own annotations. Another one where people can write and those annotations are saved is in [|ArtPad].

7. [|Flickr]? An online photo sharing site. [|Issuu]? An online site that allows you to upload your PowerPoints and get an embed code to put that PowerPoint into your website. There are plenty of other ones, but I do like how you can flip through them like a book with [|Issuu].

8. [|Wordle] to create word clouds of any website, speech or text? [|Guess the Wordle of the day wiki] and another one, how about [|Wordles for each Presidential speech]?

9. [|EtherPad] for collaboration (Like [|GoogleDocs]) or maybe multiple people all at once: [|TinyChat].

10. [|Jing] and/or [|Screenr] - Want to capture images or video from the internet or maybe you want to create a video tutorial? These may work for you.


 * How did I forget [|CoolIris]?
 * [|AudioPal] - I just found this one last week. You can get a minute of audio saved and then they e-mail you an embed code to put it on your website.
 * OH MY! I didn't ever get a chance to do a Glogster for this page or a Wix to pimp it out! Here's one that a 2nd grade teacher did: [|Mrs. Griffith]
