This is an awesome platform which makes use of a huge variety of web based tools. It offers freedom in that all of these applications may be used from any computer anywhere - they are not limited to documents help on your computer.
I really like the googledocs.If I have written a draft of an essay I need for school and my computer crashes,I may use any computer to find it and complete it. This is fabulous compared with the MS documents where the essay would only be retrieved from my computer.
Wordle is another web 2.0 tool that I will use both in my personal life and in the classroom. It is a fun,interesting way to use words both as an art form and as a collaborative tool.
I would use this with students as a tool for spelling tests and recognizing words as well as an art project. It might be fun to have them use the randomize selection over and over to see the different possibilites there are with words and colors.With more experimenting I can imagine finding more uses for this as well as googledocs.
