There are many Web spaces to list or register your blogs, from wikis to other blogs and networks. So, if you aren’t yet listed, you may want to check out these helpful blogger directories and lists.

This would be fun for making different things (print or Web) … plus you could project on classroom screen but scramble the letter order … and play unscramble games (sentences too) .. or place an “x” for wildcards, etc. Or, just to put headers on your (or students) blog posts from time to time!

Also see Tagnautica - Explore the Flickr Tag Space: Really nifty visual word association tool. Just keep following words. Lovin’ all these Flickr API tools!

Is your school like this? 21st Century classes…

Got your iPhone in hand?

OK, while this is not really real; it serves as a possibility of things to come. Or does it? What do you think?

Clay’s Wedding 2.0: Blogged, Ustreamed, Flickr’d, Voicethreaded & Twittered so del.icio.us

Other March 7th, 2008

Update: See this post’s comments for Flickr photo and Ustream Chat dialog.

This is just such a unique Web 2.0 meets social network event, that I want to participate with broadcasting live coverage of my twitter network friend, Clay Burell. So here it is. Check back just before 1AM Denver time (I am in Mexico, not USA).
