I think the use of web 2.0 tools is extremely important in the classroom as a means for teachers and students to interact and share with each other. In my opinion, using youtube and blogs would be very useful as a teacher. By using youtube, a teacher could easily access videos that could supplement their lessons and clarify any questions students may have. Blogs are a great way to get all students involved in discussion.
I had never heard of library thing until this discussion board so I decided to look it up. Library thing is a social cataloging app for storing and sharing books and catalogs. It makes it incredibly easy to interact with groups of people who share common interests in reading material. This could be useful for a teacher because they could access numerous reviews on books when deciding what to assign their students. If you're interested in this tool i suggest learning more about it at https://www.librarything.com
When reading chapter 12, I found myself really interested in some of the technological advances it addressed. I thought electronic paper was a really great idea that would not only be extremely useful in a classroom but make a big impact on the environment as well. Electronic paper would make it extremely easy to distribute worksheets and other materials in class without wasting a large amount of paper.
