With your strong interest in Web 2.0 Tools, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

I just looed at your blog and got very excited! I set up a wiki for research for my British Literature classes and they were very enthusiatic. I also used glogster to "poster your poet." I was interested to see the MND wiki you set up and let the kids run. I was thinking about letting my kids create MySpace/Facebook pages for Victor Frankenstein and the creature. It seems like it might become a Web 2.0 version of sociograms. The problem (of course) is my district blocking those sites. How many kids you you have? Did everyone create a character page on your wiki? Assessment? I love how this sounds.
