The Web 2.0 tool i explored from SEOmoz Web 2.0 Tools list was Etsy. It is a really cool website where people can make an account to buy or sell items online. Many of the things you find on this website are handmade or vintage, which is really cool. There are a lot of features i like on this website. I really like how many different categories there are to search through. This helps narrow down searches and make searching less time consuming. There are not many things you can do with this in a classroom, but one idea I had was a fundraiser. Students could make handmade jewelry or art to sell for a good cause.
The second Web 2.0 tool i explore is if then then that. This Web 2.0 tool allows users to make tasks that say if (something happens) then (something else happens). For example, I used a task that said "if someone uploads a picture to my facebook, then add the file to my dropbox." It is a really interesting idea. Other tasks I found would email you if it is going to rain or tweet my facebook status updates. I like this web 2.0 tool, but I don't know how often I would use something like it. Students could use this in the classroom for weather purposes or to get news updates.
