Web 2.0 project

Please choose a creative Web 2.0 application/tool to work in.  It could be one you reviewed yesterday or a new one.  You must produce a creative product (comic strip, story, graphic organizer, etc.) and share it with me.

Web 2.0 applications/tools

We have talked about Web 2.0 applications and tools.  Now I would like you to explore some and think about them critically.  

I would like you to take a look at 5 creative Web 2.0 sites and look at them critically. 
You may click this link, http://edjudo.com/web-2-0-teaching-tools-links to get to a long list of web 2.0 online tools by category or you can simply google web 2.0 online tools.   
After viewing and using them write a review for your favorite and your least favorite web 2.0 application/tool as a user on this blog.  I think it will be interesting to see what people think of the sites and their functionality, since each of you will have your own individual needs, likes and dislikes. You may stay in one category or try a variety of them. 

Each review should include:

·                Name of program/site 

·                URL 

·                Purpose of the site (example:  a place for me to edit my photos, a site where I could create a story, share it and publish it if I want)

·                Things that you like about the site (example:  I loved the features it offered, it was super user-friendly and created a great product)

·                Drawbacks to the site (example:  it was very difficult to navigate, or it was not user-friendly)

·                Would you recommend this tool to a friend? Why or why not?
