I often hear the question: Do you have any cool new tools or websites? This question often makes me cringe. Teachers and administrators should be thinking about the goals that they need to accomplish, and then they can choose tools that will best accomplish their goals. (You know: "Begin with the end in mind!") Well, this wiki has the right idea. Called "Web Tools 4 U 2 Use," the site focuses on skills, not tools. It offers a variety of search methods, including skill-based, cognitive level-based, and learning style-based. I think this is a great resource to introduce teachers to the wonderful world of Web 2.0. Enjoy!
