Have you ever wanted to be on the "cutting edge" of things? Do you ever feel like you are "behind the times" and your students are more "hip" than you are? Don't feel bad, there is hope. Web 2.0 Awards at http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0/short is here to help. It is an awesome site with website awards (1st, 2nd, & 3rd place, and honorable mention) for different categories ranging from bookmarking to gaming to social networking. The websites are nominated and voted upon. It is a great launchpad for leaping into the technical savvy world that our students dwell in. If you are looking for specific types of websites for your classroom such as a place to get images for students to use and really don't know anything other than "googling" this is a great place to go. You will find flickr listed under photos and digital imaging and a couple of other websites that are similar in content.
Give Web 2.0 Awards a try and you will soon be understanding some of the "cutting edge" websites that many of your students and colleagues are utilizing.
