If you need Web 2.0 tools, you really need to check Ozge Karaoglu's blog. She has started a post of Web 2.0 Tools A-Z. She always has great technology ideas and how to implement that technology in the classroom. Here are a few of my favorite Web 2.0 tools from her site.

A = Awesome Highlighter allows you to highlight text on a webpage

• Insert a URL and choose highlight page
• Select the text you would like to highlight and press done when finished highlighting
• Copy and paste the URL and email your highlighted page

B =  BounceApp is a site that makes it easy for you to share ideas on a website. 

• Enter the URL into BounceApp 
• BounceApp grabs a screen shot for you to add to your notes.
• Then you can draw boxes around specific parts of the website and add notes.

C = Corkboard.me gives you access to an online corkboard.

• This is a great tool for collaboration. Once you type in Corkboard.me you will receive a special URL to give out. 
• Add pictures to the corkboard by pasting the link.
• Chat with friends who have the URL to the corkboard.
• Here's a test corkboard. Click here to access it.

D =  DoSize allows you to resize any image online. 

• Select the images you would like to resize.
