New views about what it means to teach, to be an expert about something, to share things.

Sites to illustrate web 2.0:
Zillow.com: enter in an address and find out tax and real estate data.
Threadless.com: anyone in the world can design a shirt, and then people vote on which one is print worthy, and then threadless will make the shirts that have the most consensus.
43 Things.com: very organic; idea is what are 43 things you want to do in your life. When I click on various key words I will be organic or linked to anyone else who wants to do those things.
wefeelfine.org: when I get to the site, click on open we feel fine and wait.

Web2.0 assignment: need to check out 3 different types of web2.0.
2. Send Laura aparagraph about what I did and what I liked/disliked, what I use it in an educational setting?

Check out pbs.org/newshour/extra and post on the discussion any suggestions that I have about how to improve the blog part of the site. First thing would be how to find the blog, can't find it. needs to be a bigger, more noticeable tab to get to the link.

Edutopia.com order to get the magazine sent to me as it's very valuable (George Lucas' educational magazine).

A del.icio.us page is web based that holds your bookmarked websites. It's social boookmarking; able to view what others bookmark. Can give them special key words that are significant to me and others who I associate with.
