I've been exploring a couple of "web 2.0" sites this summer and have fallen head over heels with their possibilities. I really see potential for expanding this group into one of the several social networking sites. I've joined two recently and have come into contact with educators around the worl

Michelle, I'm glad you mentioned this. At the Capital Area Writing Project we've been exploring this issue, as well. We've looked at and used Wiki's, blogs, and del.icio.us. (I love del.icio.us, my "handle" is joy2educate if you'd like to become part of my network) Tomorrow we are going to learn a

Joy & Sandra, I think that we could BEGIN this endeavor by simply setting up a group on the Classroom 2.0 website. That would be *FREE* and an easy way to start. I already set up a group called "Elementary Reading Teachers"--it's VERY easy to set up and then starting discussions is a snap! Then,

I have no idea how these different systems work or what they look like. That said, I like the way Mosaic works right now. What kind of software might I need to add to use a different system? I'd probably leave the list if I had to add something or if it was difficult to learn to use a

I certainly did not intend to worry anyone or to imply we trade in this email group any time soon with my invitation to explore web 2.0 opportunities available to this list. My sincere apologies. I'm merely suggesting that there are newer, improved ways of communicating. Remember those clunky ol
