Cool cat teachers list and Classroom 2.0

I know many of you probably thinks that the whole Classroom 2.0 is slightly overwhelming. I have been on the 2.0 scene since it started, and I am still overwhelmed most of the time ;). That’s why I like these kinds of lists. This is a list of 122 applications, softwares and sites that the writer, Cool Cat Teacher recommends, along with why she likes and uses them.

(And for those of you who are practicing Christians, she has written a post about Bible study and her ITouch! 🙂

PS. The link Classroom 2.0 goes to a great and very alive NING (online community) about classroom 2.0. Another way to get onto it is to become a member of that one and start exploring with the help of collegues from all over the world.

Good example

Grade 4 at Yokohama International School is defining Japanese culture with a lot of photos on posterous. Great idea!

And I must say that posting on Posterous was extremely easy, just email anything you want to post, like text, a picture, and MP3, files, videos and kaboom – it’s there. Great! Read the FAQ.
