Bubbl.us is a great brainstorming/webbing site. I can see using this in the gradual release of instruction for my Bermuda Triangle research project. I can use this to model, have students practice with peers, and then do their own when they have completed the research. I liked it because it was simple to use and modify. I would be able to tell if students were on the right track and had enough details and examples with just a quick glance.
Zoho show seems to be much like the idea of google docs, except formatted as a presentation. Using the same concept as Google docs, the presentation can be shared without having to e-mail it. Students could also put together a class project, each person/group adding a slide.
The Diigo site would be perfect for student use in a research project. Students can add or visit a set collection of sites that gets them on the right track in their research. I can see this functioning much like the teacher who had students blogging as a study hall.
As we delve deeper into Web 2.0 I can see the process and experiences of educating children becoming vastly different that the way we currently deliver instruction. From my amateur view, I can see all of my instruction being anchored from my Teacher Blog. All of the assignments and projects would be much more student driven with me as the facilitator rather than the deliverer of all pertinent information. Once the issues of hardware are addressed, it will certainly be the means by which students experience school. I sure am glad that I have taken part in this course now!
