  12. Blogging A blog (short for weblog) is a personal online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogger.comhttp://blogger.com This free site is one of the original and most popular blogging services. Blogger is a relatively 'low-tech' system that's a good choice for those just starting out with the technology. A simple sign-up procedure, easy to use design templates, and compatibility with third party add-on software are positive attributes.  Google now owns Blogger and will serve context sensitive ads on your free blog pages.  You can pay a modest amount to upgrade to an ad free version. Wordpress: http://wordpress.com/  Wordpress provides free blogging software and space for anyone who cares to sign up.  This is an ad free service, with very rich and powerful tools. Design templates help you create an attractive looking site. Since Wordpress is very popular, you'll find many useful ad-ons as you elaborate the basic technology that comes free with your site.  The popular Edublogs.net is based on Wordpress technology and provides free blogs and wiki's to educators.

Using the little known Google Video operator genre: you can find video tagged for educators. Try searching for genre:: educational to find some useful results. YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/ This is the video sharing site that's been called the mineshaft canary for Web 2.0. Recently acquired by Google for billions of dollars, YouTube features a huge array of videos about many different topics. YouTube definitely has a free range wildness about it that gives the user a sense of never knowing what they are going to see. SlideShare:http://www.slideshare.net Upload and share your PowerPoint & Keynote presentations, Word & PDF documents. Add audio to make a webinar. Capture leads with your presentations.

  16. Wikis wiki Wiki-wiki is the Hawaiian word for quick. Wiki websites are designed to enable users to make additions or edit any page of the site. Think of Wikis as specialized websites that promote collaborative writing.  Wiki team-mates can edit documents at any time of the day or night. The wiki will automatically back up the original and present the newest edition of the document to the next team-mate to log in. You always have a revision history to consult, as you create a dynamic document that grows and changes under the attention of an audience of editors. Wikipedia: http://www.wikipedia.org/ is the best known Wiki at the moment. WikiMatrix: http://www.wikimatrix.org/index.php This is a comparison site that helps a user compare many different features of a wide variety of commercial and free wiki services. If you want to make an informed choice this site is a great starting place. (Both pbwiki and Wikispaces are reviewed side by side and feature by feature.)

  17. Wikis cont. PBWikihttp://pbwiki.com  With a slogan like: "Make a Wiki as easily as a peanut butter sandwich" you can expect a clean streamlined design. Will pbwiki set you up in just 30 seconds? Try it and see. Learning the ins and outs of Wiki editing and navigation will take a bit more time. Other features include a discussion area where team-members (or any user) can comment on the wiki. If you outgrow the free version you can upgrade for a modest monthly fee. Wikispaceshttp://www.wikispaces.com Wikispaces is another educator oriented free service. You will find the easy to navigate discussion, history, and notification tabs useful. You can also set up email or RSS feeds to keep you posted on wiki activity.
