Free Web 2.0 Learning Resources
Thursday, May 15th, 2008The link in this post is for anyone, but especially for my wonderful nephew Chris. He’s an awesome elementary school teacher, and I’ll probably brag about him in future posts!

Zaid Ali Algasoff put together a long and very helpful list for budget-conscious public-school instructors. Um, that includes 99.9% of them! (I taught in a Community College district for three years, and know that funds come out of a public instructor’s pocket if they really want to engage their students).
Zaid compiled a list of 137 free resources, the Web 2.0 variety, that teachers can use.
Go for it, nephew! That free Web site you asked me to review is fine (the SnapFish photo galleries are awesome!), but check out:
Edublogs at http://edublogs.org/
More and more, I’m seeing people use blogs to blog and to be their Web site/CMS (content management system, including photos, homework assignments, items for parents, etc.). A blog isn’t just a blog anymore.
It doesn’t matter what grade level you’re currently teaching. You can set up your blog to “go with you” as you advance in the career that you love!
Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.
I’m so proud of you!
