Week 5: Thing 11 - A Sharing Communty

One of the best things about Web 2.0 tools is the ability it gives educators to share professional resources and learning ideas. I joined the TeacherLibrarianNing a couple of years ago for just that reason. I've gotten some fabulously creative ideas from this network and have gained many professional relationships. Creative Commons, Flickr, YouTube...are additional sharing networks which have been invaluable to me as well as my fellow colleagues.
After exploring the many wonderful sites on the Web 2.o Award List, I was immediately drawn to docstoc because of its value in sharing educational resources. Powerpoints, pdf files, and spreadsheets are just some of the formats which professionals have posted to share. With a separate category for education, you can find anything from gorgeous China photographs to a literary analysis organizer. Not only can you email, download or link to the documents, but you can embed them into your blog our website.
