The Best of Web 2.0 for the Classroom
The Internet offers an amazing array of tools at no or low cost. Keep in mind that "no cost" sites do not always stay that way. Explore and let me know if you find some sites or categories that should be on this list. EduTecher and Go2Web2.0 are the best resources I have found for discovering great sites.
