[|for Google Apps, iPad Apps, Android Apps and Web 2.0] Cathy Schrock has put a nice collection together here.

Web 2.0 for Teachers I have linked to the introduction page on this site and bypassed the welcome page. There are two great videos here, one that I have seen (The Machine is Us/ing Us) and one that I have not (A Vision of Students Today). I think they are good introductions to the topic of Web 2.0 and how we as teachers are having to change the way we approach teaching in order to meet the needs of our students. There are many great resources such as a few ideas about what Web 2.0 means, feeds (such as ZDNet, EdTech Talk, and Del.icio.us), and links to Web 2.0 tools based on intended purpose. It is also done using a Web 2.0 tool, protopage.com which is a tool that shows some promise.

Condensed overview: Two powerful videos provide a thought-provoking capsule illustrating changes in teaching and learning. Videos created, 2007.

Classroom 2.0 Classroom 2.0 is a social network / community based around the idea of Web 2.0. I am not a member but according to the site it has over 60,000 members from 181 countries. I think that this would be an amazing resource to help people network and share resources and how these tools are being applied in classrooms around the world. There are recording from Elluminate sessions that discuss Web 2.0. This can be found under the "Recordings" section of the site. There is a calendar of events showing the various discussion/talks that occur each week on various topics and from various hosts. It is cool to see Web 2.0 being used to showcase Web 2.0.
