I think that google.com is probably the best web 2.0 site out there. It is still amazing to me that you can make a powerpoint presentation with people anywhere in the world. Other sites that might be useful are youtube, blogger, and maybe photobucket for pictures from throughout the year. These sights are all awesome and allow information to be online and accessed from any computer. This is great for teaching because then you can give out information to students on the computer at any time instead of actually physically seeing them to give them things. Also, the other way around works great too because then kids can turn things in without physically handing it to the teacher. Our society today spends a HUGE amount of time on the computer so these websites make it more convenient for us. I would not use facebook for anything educational unless I wanted to know the personal lives of my students and that is something that I would rather find out by getting to know them instead of reading the status they put last night about their love life... :)
