I'm still working on some Google documents, but I was really excited about Library Thing. What a great way to involve students in making their own book choices.

Wikis & Sand box
Wikis are easy to use and easy to edit. They can be used to both gather and present information. For those teachers who don't require a research paper, they are a great tool for presentations.

Wiki's
Wikis seem to be a great way to get students to learn about online cooperation and how to use the internet and networking sites professionally. The greatest lesson that students can learn is that they can't use the same text and word choices with professional wikis that they may use with their social networking sites. When I begin using wikis -- I will remind students about our school's acceptable use policy and the difference between social and professional networking.
Possible applications: subject guides, note-taking skills, essay writing and editing, reader's advisories, book clubs.
