November 19 (2 presentation):
__Presentation #1:__ Tara Parr: I would like to present Google Earth. There is sooo much on Google Earth so I've narrowed it to a small piece called a GoogleLitTrip. ([|http://earth.google.com] & [|www.googlelittrips.com])

__Presentation #2:__ Jeremy Mellon: I am going to present "Assign-a-day". This is an online calendar that allows teachers to post a calendar online that can be changed, and updated. This allows teachers to upate online instead of constantly sending out emails, or printing new calendars. []


__Presentation #1:__ Lisa Lopez: I am going to present on Zoho Writer. This is an online word processor that allows you to have all of your documents in one central location. It gives you the ability to share with others and to export to different applications. It is a great tool to use for working on documents with other people where reviewing and editing a document is necessary. https://writer.zoho.com/home

__Presentation #2:__ Stephanie Curry: I am going to present Shelfari (www.shelfari.com), an online book database that allows people to add books and find other who have similar tastes in books. You can then tag books, add reviews, and even share and swap books. Some books even have discussions started that allows for collaboration. This is a completely free tool.

__Presentation #3:__ Shannon Bellafiore: I would like to present on Yammer ([|www.yammer.com]), a microblogging site which is free and subscription service. Something to integrate into the corporate arena that is open or protected.

December 10  (3 presentations):
__Presentation #1__ :

Jay Halverson: The web 2.0 site I would like to present is "wiggio" [|http://www.wiggio.com] ,a collaborative site designed to make it easier to work in groups. Similar to a wiki, wiggio provides file sharing, calender, meeting, and communication capabilities. I hope to use this as a way to work with three groups that are spread over eleven states. __Presentation #2:__ Qiana Graham __I have choosen to do Notaland. [] Notaland looks like a really cool tool to use in both a traditional classroom and in that of a business setting. I could see myself using this tool in a trainer role at GSK b/c we have alot of 'how to training's'. The use of a interactive whiteboard would make otherwise boring, traditional powepoint presentations really pop! We also use an online library, which is very flat, and boring. I could see using this to bring our library up to par as well.__

__Presentation #3:__ Keith Nunnelee I would like to present xtranormal. [] Xtranormal is a free application and website that allows students to write a script that immediately becomes an animated movie. Younger students will enjoy simply having the Lego-looking characters read their script, poem, or knock-knock jokes. Older students will want to create specific camera movements and direct the monotone characters' every movement as they develop plots.
