I have had Randy Rodgers over at Teaching Better With Web 2.0 coming through my Google Reader feeds for a while now.  I went to his site to add a comment to his survey, looking at the top 5 sites people are using in their classes.

Here is a copy of my comment.

I am really interested as to how you use Scrapblog as an educational tool as I wouldn’t have thought of using it in this way.

I would love to make more use of Flickr and twitter but they are blocked…

If I could have two more I would say podcasts.yahoo.com and stock xchange.

I use the second one for royalty free images that I use as the backgrounds for my powerpoints etc.  Thousands of images of things like close ups of drops of water on different surfaces.

I also just found this website which is very useful for education
It contains MP3s of historical sounds - mostly speeches from history eg. Houston we have a problem, Bush’s End of communism speech.

I will post about some of the sites I am using and how I am using them in my classes.  I will also go exploring as there were a few sites that others were talking about that I hadn’t been to.

People were talking about using scrapblog for education and I had never thought about using it in that way before - so if you are using it and can shed some light on how it can be used it would be great to hear from you.
