"Scholars will soon be instructed through the eye. It is possible to teach every branch of human knowledge with the motion picture." -Thomas Edison
I thought you might be interested in checking out some awesome web 2.0 tools and resources that I learned about at the Tech Ed Conference at Stockton. Lisa Thumann presented all of these web 2.0 tools with great enthusiasm and detail! I wish all of you could have been there, but since you were not, here are the tools that were discussed. These tools are bound to give you the tech edge in the classroom. Check 'em out!
BEFUNKY.COM
(basically it's a free version of Adobe Photoshop)

(a great place for digital storytelling info and examples)
COGDOGROO.WIKISPACES.COM

These sites are just a fraction of the latest and greatest web 2.0 tools that are available to teachers. There are many others that are just waiting to be discovered. I hope that you find all of these web 2.0 sites useful and perhaps worthy of using with your students.
