DaVE utising WEB 2 +

Lots of stuff to do with web 2 and some examples.

Pageflakes

Pageflakes is a personalized start page (yes, I know, there are quite a few out there). However, it's not just a start page for a single user but also for teams and groups. I thought it might be an interesting tool for you and your colleagues to create shared pages where you add note modules, tasks and todo lists, shared contacts, schedules and news feeds. It's quite simple; get a free account and then setup your own, personalized page. You can then either leave it in "private" mode, or change it to "shared" (invited teacher colleagues can use and edit it) or "publish" (everyone can see it, but only you can edit it).

Flashcards

A free account with FlashCard Exchange allows you to create your own flashcards and share them with friends/students to practise! It's great! you can practise in a variety of ways too...

CamStudio
