Discovering Web 2.0 Tools
I stepped a little outside of my box when exploring Web 2.0 tools and explored http://www.etsy.com/. Etsy is a retail site for handmade items. I began to review this webpage without thinking of any educational connection. Within minutes I realized there were many educational applications to the handmade items There were several custom classroom rules items as well as word art items that could apply to specific units. The nice thin about handmade items it the ability to have them customized for your classroom. There were also bookmarks and other items that could be customized and given to specific students for performance awards. Although Etsy is not a resource to be used in the classroom it defiantly has materials that could be used in any classroom or library setting.
