• Web 2.0 tools “get in, get out, done.”
• “Do one thing and do it well”
• A lot of people are not making money on these, so you don’t want to get married to a specific site. You have to realize that people are working on them on their own time
• Students are going to get this really quick
• How excited students will be knowing that they will be expected to complete the same activity when they are finished

Web – post information – doesn’t usually get updated that often
Usually create files on your computer and then you upload
Blog – “Fresh” information
Benefit: Is there a compelling reason to go to the school website everyday?
Ex: lewiselementary.org
Designed so people keep coming back
