I think that some cool 2.0 web tools that could definitely help to further education are google docs, this site is very helpful in getting together with classmates and working on assignments. It could also be used as a teacher in working on things outside of the classroom setting. Another website is PE central which is a very good tool for teachers in the physical education setting. It gives great ideas for different situations and allows you to share ideas on the website as well. Students would be able to go to this site to look at things that would seem interesting to them and let their teacher know.
I had a friend a couple years ago who had a class where they were required to use facebook in their assignments. They were put into groups and each group created a person that was relative to the topic they were discussing, I believe it was a religion class (so each group chose a person from the scriptures and made a facebook page with their name and information and all that type of stuff correlating) then the groups were required to write to each other, making sure to keep with the scenario. I think this sounds like a good way to use facebook in order for kids to learn new information about someone and share it with others.
