Today we will preview wikis, google docs, using images, podcasting. Karen and Jeff will show us how they are already using wikis and google docs in their classroom environment. I have posted several links to tutorials to these so that you can learn them at your own pace.
We will also preview several web2.0 tools and determine which of them you can use in your classrooms.
In addition you can start adding links and gadgets to your blogs – though much of this can be done on Friday after you have a better idea of the tools out there. Remember to start collecting your classmates’ blog addresses so you can start creating your initial blog roll.
Remember to keep looking at educator blogs and classroom2.0 forum discussions as they will prove relevant to your aggregation of effective online tools. Save useful urls in your Delicious accounts.

cloud computing: term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. 3 general categories of service: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Inspiration behind the name.
Differences between cloud service and traditional hosting: 1) sold on demand, typically by the minute or the hour, 2) it is elastic -- a user can have as much or as little of a service as they want at any given time, 3) and the service is fully managed by the provider (the consumer needs nothing but a personal computer and Internet access).
