A. Classroom Blog B. History wiki C. K-12 podcasts Check out More on Web 2.0 for the classroom teacher for a helpful list of resources.
- A blog can be viewed as an interactive online journal. Many blogs report on news events while others offer a personal story or share personal experiences. The capability for readers to leave feedback expands the interactivity of a blog. Setting up a blog is usually as easy as filling out a simple short form. The titanic blog link shows a blog set up by a 4 th grade teacher where her students describe why they are proud to be Missourians. The Sarah Plain and Tall blog is used to teach the literary elements in the novel. Blogical Minds is set up to serve as a class webpage with the students as the blogicians. . Students can use blogs as a means of self-expression. If they post a blog they will receive feedback from readers. If they read a blog they can give their own feedback to the author. For many students blogs remove some of the physical obstacles they face in writing longhand. The Blog Resources link provides lots of information on educational blogs.

Depending on the host site, wikis can be public or open to anyone, or private, restricted to members of a group. Wikis can be used in any subject area for a variety of purposes: A. Terry the Tennis Ball uses a wiki for creative writing. B. What is it? uses a wiki as the host for a shapes game. . Wikis can be used to continue class discussion in any subject area.

- Users can save links to web pages they want to visit again on social bookmarking sites. These links can be organized and shared using metatags. The bookmarks are usually public, but they can be saved privately, shared only with specific people or groups, or shared only within a network such as a school. For users, social bookmarking can be useful to access a consolidated set of bookmarks from a number of locations through different computers. Social bookmarking also allows users to organize a large number of bookmarks and share them. Teachers often use them to provide resources to their students for a specific topic. The links in the middle of this slide show you some of the ways educators are using social bookmarking sites to enhance their classrooms.
