Classroom 2.0 - The Social Network for Educators Using Collaborative Tools

Classroom 2.0 is a social network designed for educators who are using (or are interested in learning about) Web 2.0 tools and collaborative technologies in and out of the classroom. You can join Classroom 2.0 for free and contribute to the community or just browse through existing resources. The network was designed using a free social network creation tool called Ning. I have my students use Ning to construct their own social networks and Classroom 2.0 is a great example to show students how cool a well designed social network can look when it is completed.

Classroom 2.0 has over 14,500 members and the site maintains blogs and discussion forums on almost any Web 2.0 topic you can imagine. So cruise over and check them out and I’m sure you’ll find useful suggestions for technologies and techniques that you can integrate into your classes.
