Web 2.0 world 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. These are just a few things that we have used Wordle for! Have fun!
Art, yes, Art!! - Whole class brainstorm facts about artists. Click on the words, and get just the outline, then have them color the words in to represent the artist.
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, Abraham Lincoln facts
2nd - word wall words
2nd - biography facts
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
Lincoln wordle
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 life cycle of a plant. I am still looking for ways to better tie this in to the curriculum without spending a ton of time on it!
First grade scratch on short i sound
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
Storyboarding
Story telling
Graphic organizers
VoiceThread
We are just starting to use this! . 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 them.
2nd graders studied Abraham Lincoln and compiled their facts into a class Voicethread! Our first activity was through projectsbyjen
4th graders biography reports take a new twist!

Create a Graph
Ever want to have your kids make a graph - easily?? This is the answer! So easy and customizable!

Animoto
We are currently working on putting together some animoto projects. This is an easy way to create videos and do digital storytelling. We have issues with student pictures on the web, so I included a personal one as an example. The free version limits you to less than a dozen photos, yet it is still amazing!! You will never go back to making slideshows again!
Here is a great one on Science vocabulary!

My 8 year old created one about his favorite football play!

Plurk
These are 2 great places to create your PLN, Personal Learning Network. You can "follow" people and find out what they are learning and sharing. Can be confusing at first. I prefer Twitter to Plurk, but it is a personal opinion. You find the one that you like!
Second Life
There are so many places to learn on the web! Second Life offers online PD from tons of sources! Personally. I have a hard time finding time in my first life for a Second Life, but there are tons of great learning opportunities avaiable here!
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.

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

Other Web 2.0 Resources that I use
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:

Tony Vincent has a tutorial on his blog:

Photo Sharing:
We took pictures of some cards we made for President Lincoln's 200th birthday and posted them on bubbleshare.
Photo Fun!
Capture images in artwork
A Wordpress article about Web 2.0
Great Tips!!

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. Wikis make it so easy to create your own website without learning HTML!
Feel free to email me with questions or comments! Especially if you want to join us in a project! We love to work with other schools!! We are a pre-kindergarten through 4th grade school with teachers in all grade levels wanting to collaborate to make their students' educations the best that they can be! Don't know what to do? Let us develop something together!
