Web 2.0 Overview - A look at the new nature of the web and how our students fit into it.
RSS - This is the glue, it allows you to track Web 2.0. This will help you follow all of these technologies.
Blogs - Over 60,000 new blogs created a day, how can we harness this technology in the classroom?
Wikis - A web site anyone can edit? Craziness, right? No just a wiki.
Podcasts - Talking blogs, sort of.
More - A few other tools that take advantage of the Read/Write web.

Some of the ideas and links from this workshop were inspired by some of the key EduBloggers and Read/Write specialists. They including, Will Richardson, Dean Shareski, Darren Kuropatwa, and Mark Wagner.
