Collaboration+Tools

What is available out there? Where? The World Wide Web - so much it is hard to stay on top - this page is dedicated to Web 2.0

I have posted links and how I have used the software in my teaching and personal learning. Also links to other great resources such as 'Cool tools for schools'

http://corkboard.me The corkboard allows my students use this to keep short notes on various topics - input, output, storage devices etc.

Lesson Plans in 10 minutes http://www.10minutelessonplans.com Here is a tool I use to create lesson plans for my classes - it is online so I can work anywhere and not just at school. It has guided questions and really makes you think about what you are trying to achieve each time you meet the students.

http://www.techsmith.com/learn/jing/ This tool I use to capture screenshots, record video for my students. I have started to experiment with this free software to also capture students work and provide feedback.

http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/ This is where I go to find any new Web 2.0 tools that I want to incorporate in my teaching - it is a MUST for all teachers.
