WebTools4u2use (School Library Web 2.0 site)

WebTools4u2use is a wiki-based site about Web 2.0 tools for school library media specialists.  There is a lot of information here that would be useful for school librarians, teachers, parents, and public librarians who work with children.  From the site's self-description:

This wiki was created for school library media specialists by Dr. Donna Baumbach and Dr. Judy Lee, University of Central Florida. The purpose is to provide information about some of the new web-based tools (Web 2.0) and how they can be used and are being used by school library media specialists and their students and teachers. Much of the information--including identifying a need for this kind of information--is the result of a survey conducted in 2008 of over 600 school library media specialists about their knowledge and use of web-based tools in library media programs.

Topics covered so far include:

  • Audio & Podcasting
  • Blogs
  • Calendars, Task Management, & ToDo Lists
  • Drawing, Charting, and Mapping Tools
  • Photo & Photo Sharing
  • Portal & WebPage starting tools
  • Presentation tools
  • Quiz & Polling tools
  • RSS, Newsfeeds, & Aggregators
  • Social Bookmarking
  • Social Networks
  • Video Tools and Video Sharing
  • Wikis
  • Word Processing and Productivity tools

Since it's a wiki, anyone can add to it.  Take a look and share the resources you have!
