It was loads of fun and very exciting for me to see the excitement in the group. My group was small as well with only 9 participants but this allowed one to one interaction over the 2.0 days. I see Web 2.0 apps being very useable in the classroom. The sharing of ideas and resources is the key concept which is being modelled by many fellow bloggers already. I'd invite you to visit my wiki page at http://joevans.pbwiki.com/ and feel free to make use of it with your participants if it is in any way applicable to your needs. Cheers John Hi Dean,

We are in the process of developing a "scope and sequence" I am using this term loosely. I am trying to figure out a way of bringing Web 2.0 into this. Hearing a discussion on this would be great. You have indicated that you are going to have a Skype session open? Without sounding pushy, I can also provide you with an account on Breeze if you ever require an additional communication tools for sessions like this. Anyway if I can join the discussion in some capacity that would be great. If not I hope to connect sometimes else. Thanks Thad thad@nesd.ca Hi Dean

A quiet student I had last year said she was more comfortable giving speeches in front of the class after blogging and sharing her thoughts with others. Students will form connections with each other in a new way and these bonds can only come about through these tools.

Read / Write technology melts classroom walls. My suggestion is that teachers think about ways they can use social software to thread what happens in class into the rest of students’ lives.

So far, my favorite “tie ins” have stemmed from after hours text and voice chats with students. I also love it when students and I leave comments on each others’ blogs and Flickr pages.
