Web 2.0 just keeps getting bigger and bigger! It is hard to keep up! Here are a few applications with ideas and examples of how we are using them with our elementary students.
http://www.wordle.net/
I use wordle with all grades K-4! One word of caution: when working with students, link right to the create page so you avoid any inappropriate wordles displayed in the gallery. We don't post to the gallery, we just print their favorite word cloud.
K - we typed family words and names to create cards for Valentine's Day
K - typed words that they know
1st - parts of speech wordles
1st - word wall words
2nd - word wall words
2nd - content area vocabulary words
3rd - important people quick facts
3rd - report cover pages
3rd - fact sharing pages
4th - biography facts
These are kindergarten examples! Powerful stuff!!
First Grade Family words
Scratch
This is a fun site created to let students create animation, interactive stories, games, music, games and art. It is an easy way to show how computer programming works. We haven't posted to the gallery due to many inappropriate items there at times. We have used it for basic animation with 1st graders. You build lego-like blocks to make the cat figure move. We have also used it to type and animate their names. It is fun, but time consuming. We have used it to animate the
Comic Life
We use Comic life in 1st - 4th grade in lots of ways.
Goal setting - each quarter we take the students' pictures and have them record their goals, some teachers include their goals for the students on this sheet as well. Parents love to see them at conferences and what a neat way of watching the children grow throughout the year. THey love to go back and look at how they have changed - especially those toothless ones!
Story mapping
Character analysis
Fact sharing - quick and easy nonfiction reports
VoiceThread
We are just starting to use this! Our first activity was through projectsbyjen. We have been learning about Abraham Lincoln and posted our thoughts to a voicethread. As we have issues with posting student photos on the web, we had them create a KidPix drawing of themselves to be used as their identity. Take a look at it!
http://voicethread.com/share/342595/Create a graph
Ever want to have your kids make a graph - easily?? This is the answer! So easy and customizable!

Skype/iChat
We love to Skype or iChat with colleagues in our own building or from around the world! We have joined integrated projects or created our own sharing! If you want to join us, contact innes.kirsten@d46.org or d46kir@aim, skype name kirs10i.
Moodle
We have joined some Moodle projects to write for an audience and participate in 100th day activities.
Wikis
We haven't started using wikis with our students, but we are using them for teacher web pages. The one provided by the district, this one, is somewhat limiting, but it is easy to edit and it works. You can't make it "cutesy" though....
Projects by Jen
http://projectsbyjen.ning.com/
This site is an awesome place to look for interactive online activities using many web 2.0 applications. There are projects going all year long, with many levels of participation, check it out and see if you can join it.
Web collaboration tools put together by Jen can be found on her wiki

A complete - if there is such a thing - list of Web 2.0 applications. Not all appropriate for school, but neat anyway!
UStreamtv A great tool for sharing videos for anything!
Can't watch You Tube at school? Simply convert your videos using:

Photo Sharing:
We took pictures of some cards we made for President Lincoln's 200th birthday and posted them on bubbleshare.
Photo Fun!
