I feel like this is cheating a bit, but I’m going to cite the web2.0 uses in my classroom as the stuff I do already.  That would be the following:

Use of Vimeo (vimeo.com) to publish videos of classroom activity

Use of Blogger (blogger.com) to create a blog (http://paideiaphysics.blogspot.com/) for students to post article reviews and comments

Use of email (http://www.email.com/seriously/)  to deliver and receive labs with students

I guess I have one idea that might be a good one to try out.  I’m still playing around with using ZumoDrive as a cloud.  I might be able to manage it more like a server and give students rights to upload/download files.  We run into a problem often of people needing to email things to themselves, and then having to email it to me.  If we instead were to have people receive their lab from the cloud, then upload it back to the cloud when they are done that way there will be less “email.”  That isn’t really much of an advantage.  More of an advantage would come from the accessability of ZumoDrive anywhere there is the internet and also that I can collect the labs on the day assigned (without having them email it to me).  I dunno, maybe that will be cool.
