http://www.edu20.org/ (This site has lots of resources for educators. It also offers the option to teach a class through this site or enroll in a class. There are online discussion and blog areas as well. I created an account with this site. I found a few ideas and links that I liked for my classes in the the resources section. I also saw some ideas that my students who teach in the elementary schools could use. While I can see the potential for the various options this site provides, I really have only used the resources section.)

A few other Web 2.0 sites that I liked and may use later include ... [|www.pageflakes.com/] (This allows you to create a personalized home page. ie: local news and weather) http://www.classroom20.com/ (awesome site just for educators to post questions, ideas, plans, etc.)
