elearning: Web 2.0 what worked what didn't

OK I moved from the one session to another, by Gill Creel at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. He went to elimintating a textbook for his class and using free resources available online. Some of his favorite web 2.0 tools are the following:

audicity
google calendar
flickr
trailfire
blogger
diigo
pbwiki
simple rss goodgle gadget
vimeo
survey moneky
webEx
Zoho Creator

Additional notes:

Trailfire allows you to connect a series of websites or links in what's known as a "trail".

He highly recommends flickr creative commons

On applications that has a joining function, he recommends having students "request to join group" vs the instructor sending an invite email

"Wikis in Plain English" is a good resources for explaining the concept of a wiki

He also used Captivcate to than show how to use a wiki

WebEx has a recordable function that allows students to come back and replay later.

Adobe Ex Pro is apparantly another program that can be used in webex
