My Favorite Web2.0 Tools

Web2.o means that all of my computer needs are stored on the web. It enables me to have access to anything important from any computer that has internet access. It also enables me to invite people to share documents so we can work on them simultaneously from different locations.

Personal Productivity: Delicious
I chose to Delicious as my personal productivity tool. This website from Yahoo enables you to bookmark all your favorite websites so you access them easily even if you are not using your computer. This would be a great tool for person productivity because you don't have to have your own computer to have all the websites you use on a regular bases on one page. It would also be very helpful for a classroom as you could bookmark specific websites for research or other various uses for the students. It allows you some control over what websites the students go to as well.

Screen Recorders: Screenr
Screenr is a website that lets you record images on your computer screen and sound, publish it, and then save on your computer or publish to youtube. You can then link the recording to a website or blog and for other people to view. This would be a great tool for students to use when presenting a report or group project. It would also be very useful to share presentations on a teaching blog so other teachers could see presentations that you have created. This is a screencast that I did (with no sound) from a picture in Lake Tahoe of my wedding.

  1. Yep, Delicious will become an invaluable tool as you begin to develop a system to save all the web sites that are valuable resources. Tagging is such an efficient method to us. Don't have to remember url's or the names of web sites any longer.
    Also, nice video :)
