An email reminder from Greg has prompted me to actually record and complete some things in a very short time period!!! Have been working with lots of Web 2.0 tools but there is SO much out there that the more I am aware of, the more I can use, sift through, and share with others in my role.
Had a browse through the 25 tools site and am reassured that there are so many elements that are part of my teaching life already, so not quite so daunting a task! I liked the looks of snagit or jing for image capturing - with all the PowerPoints I put together...and forays into Prezi, should be a useful tool. Have still not used Dreamweaver either, although have heard it is quite good.
With the videos on Web 2.0, it seems almost so commonplace now to work in an interactive manner that it is hard to remember what Web 1.0 was like!
One thing I liked was the LiveBinder as a source for linking all these digital bits a pieces together. I tend to keep lots of things bookmarked, but the tabs on Livebinder would make organising my digital life much simpler.
Through wikispaces, I have a few other useful sites saved as reference for myself and for sharing with others: educational origami - technology and bloom's combined (http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/, Wissahickon School District's eToolBox (http://etoolbox.wikispaces.com/), and cooltoolsforschools (http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/) where a massive range of Web 2.0 tools are referenced and linked by category.
