Classroom 2.0 at Ning? EdTechLive? Subscribe to Del.icio.us network links? Do you subscribe to EdTech blogs? I don't use all of these tools everyday but I do make it a priority to touch base with my edtech friendly folks daily. I am always picking up new ideas and sites to check out and it's fun when I finally get to meet them f2f at a conference. I was at NCCE too!

There were 40-50 names for you to choose from. You grabbed Scott McCloud's (who I thought was the cartoonist from Understanding Comics for the longest time) name and you had an impromptu teleconference. I am jealous beyond words. As a teacher and a hermit, I find it very hard to cobble together a network of likeminded teachers to play with. The time I have in the school day to chat is limited to before/after school and in the planning period. I wish there was a simple way to link in to a network of teachers who already have the skills to make something like an online annotated text or a blog comment party work. Have you found Classroom 2.0 to work for that? Or the Apple Learning Network? I think maybe I need a class in interacting with adults. Wes,

The discussion tabs on each article are where contributors hash out issues and disagreements. I'm not familiar with icloud or Cloudo, so I don't think I can answer your latter question at this point.

I've never edited anything on Wikipedia, and wondered what exactly the process entails. Do you have to have particular credentials to make changes or can anybody add or delete whatever they like? If you were to write a post on this I would be grateful. Your attention to the needs of teachers and students is great, I will be sure to check out all the links you provided in this post. Just curious, but do you think the programs like icloud, or Cloudo will change the way schools and students use computers? PB Thanks for the informative post on open source and its usage.
