This website is a free, community-supported network. It's not only a supportive comfortable place for beginners to start using Web. 2.0, soial media and participative technologies in classroom setting, but also help educators who have been familiar with technology share experience and get new ideas. Users can find interesting discussions by tools (such as Google earth and PowerPoint), by subjects (such as arts, math, and foreign languages) and by areas (like elementary, Pre-K, and professional development).
One of the technological problems I did not know how to solve is that how to download Youtube videos. There are tons of great videos on Youtube.com which can be perfectly used in teaching. However, Youtube.com is blocked in some schools. Also, even though some schools can have access to Youtube.com, it's always safer to download the videos ahead of time. To seek for the solution to my problem, I typed two key words "Youtube, download" in the search bar of Classroom 2.0. To my surprise, there were a list of answers poping out. Some teachers suggested a website called Zamzar. I tried it and found that it is an amazing website. I just needed to paste the URL of the video, choose the format I prefer and leave my email address. After haft a minute, Zamzar sent me the converted video and I could easily download it.
If your problem has not been asked by other teachers, you could post your own questions on Classroom 2.0. I believe that there will be many experts willing to help out. I love Classroom 2.0, and I will definitely keep using it.
