Web 2.0 Tools

My favourite website at the moment is http://www.go2web20.net/

This website is promoted as The Complete Web 2.0 directory.  It is my first "port of call" when looking for new tools to use in OzProjects- online projects for students.

Last week I discovered Lookybook which allows you to look at picture books in their entirity- from cover to cover, at your own pace.  Every book can be reviewed, rated, shared and put on your Bookshelf if you wish.  The Bookshelf is a place where you can collect and share your favourite books with members of the Lookybook community.

Currently, you need to be older than 13 to register with Lookybooks but you do not have to be registered to read the books.  The website promises that LookyKids is coming soon.

Lookybooks would be ideal for use on an interactive whiteboard.  I have linked to a couple of books with an Ecology and Conservation theme in the OzProject Planet Earth in Our Hands.

Online discussion forums have been created about two of the books-
Stanley Goes Fishing
Trout are Made of Trees
