Students, faculty, staff, and yes, even librarians-- We are supposedly in a Web 2.0 world now, and we probably are not even totally aware as of yet what that means for our teaching and learning.
But in this world where we can simply "type in a box" the opportunities to improve our learning and teaching are here. There's so much to share. So below is a laundry list of what tools are out there, and as the summer and fall progress--some of these tools will be discussed in detail. We've discussed Picnik, already.

Norman, THANK YOU for this outstanding list! There is much here to learn about, and hopefully we can share results as colleagues around the campus, district, and world find exciting applications of these technologies.
Cheers and regards,
