MoMb and ning
A friend of mine recently sent me a link to MoMB, The Museum of Modern Betas. This website provides a quick glimpse of web 2.0 applications that are currently receiving lots of attention. I was blown away! It has an evolving feel, much like a blog, that isn't present in lists like SEOmoz's Web 2.0 Awards.
As I was perusing MoMB, I cam across ning. Ning is a web 2.0 service that allows users to create their own 2.0 applications (that is a very "Alice in Wonderland" statement). How might this be used in classrooms? I gravitated towards the map "apps" and kept wondering how this tool might be used in the early elementary social studies curriculum (ie, digital photos and descriptions that demonstrate student exploration of their surroundings). Could be cool...
Side Note: The image is a web 2.0-themed photograph by Leigh Blackall. I have enjoyed reading Leigh's posts/comments in various educational blogs, and I highly suggest reading this Aussie's personal reflections. He even invited me to join his YouTube group (despite the fact that I have very few instructional videos uploaded)!
