The Web 2.0 project that I did was on Wiggio.

is an awesome Web 2.0 site. It's pretty much a social networking site for students. Within this tool you and the students can upload numerous different things. I uploaded some pictures from our fall festival, some PowerPoint lectures, and even some worksheets. It also has an interactive calendar that you can type up coming events for students to see. There is a folder section where you can upload videos, pictures, documents and pretty much anything else you can think of. There is a meeting section where you can set-up a video conference, conference call, or a chat room. I used this feature to set up a chat room for students who might need extra help with math. You can also have polls for the students to do. You can also make it private so it doesn't display their name. There is a message section where you can send a text message, email, sticky note or voice note. I used the sticky note feature to post a reminder about a test. Finally there is a to-do list to remind the students of things they need to do. The best part is that the students can receive notifications by either text message or email. They can also choose to make their email and cell phone number private. If students do not have an email address I also found this website: []. It is a website where teachers can set up a school email address for their students.

This Web 2.0 tool would be perfect for teachers who want to:
 * 1) Have some sort of social networking at school.
 * 2) Upload numerous file formats like homework or lectures.
 * 3) Have the ability to conference with students through the internet.
 * 4) Poll students.
 * 5) Have students interact with each other through the internet.
 * 6) Use an interactive calendar.
