Thing 22: About Classroom 2.0

I signed up tonight for CR 2.0, and found immediately that I was able to point a fellow teacher to a site I'd just learned about myself called Evoca--a very rudimentary, but easy, podcasting site that is perfect for teaching students how to podcast:

There were many other interesting things to learn on this social networking site for educators, so I can't wait to delve deeper!

I also found a site called Ning in Education that directed me to SlideShare where someone had posted a slide presentation entitled "Literatuer in Second Life." I had all but given up on Second Life because I felt that the majority of it had become so sleazy, but after looking at the plethora of literary sites available within Second Life, maybe there is yet hope. Of course, I haven't yet gone "underground" and visited those "literature stores," so I can't vouch for their validity or quality, but at least this source seemed to think they were worthwhile. If you haven't heard of Second Life, all I can say is that there's a whole other world out there. Literally.
