It never ceases to amaze me how many new tech tools are shared throughout Personal Learning Networks (PLN). We had another great day via Twitter for #web20wednesday - and I'm excited to share! So, let's jump into it.

Well, I have to say day 1 of the FETC conference was a blast! It was great to finally get down there, attend some sessions, meet some awesome people, and find some great resources. The first session we attended was the Brown Bag Shootout – where three speakers (Leslie Fisher, John Kuglin, and Hall Davidson) all spilled their favorite edtech resources – exactly what I like to hear!

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you’ve enjoyed your holidays and are ready to start the New Year with some awesome tech tools!

The first #web20wednesday tech tool I'm lovin' is ClassTools. ClassTools allows you to create free educational games, activities, and diagrams - easily! You can then host them on your own personal blog, website or intranet! And guess what? (This is the part I really love) It's free!

I think most of us have heard about sites like GoAnimate for creating cartoons, however, sometimes you may just want the old school comic strip! @Bwasson has given us a few great sites for this, Make Beliefs Comix and Toonlet.

Many of you, including us, have websites – classroom blogs, personal blogs, resource pages, etc…and if you’re anything like me, I stare so long at the computer that sometimes the easiest words get spelled incorrectly and it just slips right on by. This site, Spellr.us, allows you to just type in your website URL and it CHECKS THE SPELLING FOR YOU! How awesome is that! There is a free trial so definitely check that one out – hey, we’re all busy during the day...who wouldn’t want to make life a little bit easier?

This weeks #web20wednesday was a great success! Thanks to everyone that contributed! Below you will find this week's recap on some awesome new web 2.0 tools found! And don't miss out next Wednesday for some more great edtech tools! Let's get started!

I am absolutely IN LOVE with Big Huge Labs. Thanks to @wmchamberlain’s tweet, I was introduced to one of the most entertaining and FUN way to use photos! Now, I’ve used other alternatives such as BeFunky but it definitely wasn’t as intriguing and EASY to use as Big Huge Labs.

As a short recap of Twitter's #web20wednesday trend, it’s the perfect opportunity to share new web 2.0 tools you’ve found, you use, you love, and share it with other EduTweeple! (and PS it’s on Wednesdays!) Then we will recap them for you here on the SimpleK12 blog so you don't miss any new cool tools.

If you haven’t caught on to the Twitter trend of #web20wednesday, it’s the perfect opportunity to share new web 2.0 tools you’ve found, you use, you love, and share it with other EduTweeple! (and PS it’s on Wednesdays!)

Our first resource suggested was Diigo. With Diigo, you can organize and bookmark online links, make notes, highlight and add sticky notes. Then, build your PLN by sharing your pages, finding others with the same interest and sharing. You can even create groups (private or public) and share your findings to the group.
