The web 2.0 tool I decided to use this is week is: Dabbleboard.
Dabbleboard is great for writing concepts maps, ideas, and group collaboration. There is also the ability to chat through video conference or just voice.
I see the applicability of this tool in several forms:
1) English-Pulling together several classes from different rooms while they collaborate about the same book they are reading.
2) Math- Maybe like having a competition between 2 classes in solving a problem or working separately.
3) Corporate- Using Socratic Questioning to have trainees coming up with ideas towards their own problems, even working through different departments in various locations.
This tool has many of the same properties as Wimba, but the interface is a little bit different. There is also no chat room like Wimba, which would seriously dampen the mood of our class.
