Digital Story Telling
This is probably my favorite discovery so far. I an guarantee that my students will read any comic strip I put in front of them. I cannot make the same claim about an article, so the power of this means of communication is very real. I look forward to finding my first opportunity to use these.
RSS Feeds
Being a heavy Google user, I used to have a Google Reader profile. However, it was discontinued so I checked out the Feedy.com offering and am generally happy with the way it displays my feeds. Although I can see the power of having all your news and feeds in one place, I still prefer to subscribe via email to any website I wish to follow.
Wiki's
Here is a link to my Wiki. Wiki's can be very helpful for collaboration and are much more efficient than email except that there's no push-notification. There's not a clean way to notify all users thatsomething has been edited. Actually, you can set it up to notify everyone when something is edited, but then you get over-notified. Another challenge is buy-in. You've got to make sure that all planning members understand the technology and are willing to keep in the discussion.
Additional Web 2 Resources
I recently used CrocDoc to peer edit the program for my Senior recital. I would never have found all these corrections. The final project was spotless due to crowd sourcing the editing.
