I tried the 2.0 award winning list. There are sooo many- I explored the section on organization- and loved it. I played around with Backpack - it was surprisingly easy (and free). It reminded me a lot of google docs, but there are more features to organize. It was sort of a combination of googledocs and Office One Note. For someone like me who loves to organize thier notes/ files / folders it it amazing. I'm definately going to share that at work.
Travel IQ was so much fun. I'm a little embarassed to say that I only went to level 2. I guess I need to brush up on my geography skills.
Which brings me to the learning connection. Backpack would be a great site for Middle and High school students so that they can keep their files online and work from where ever they are. This in combination with googlegears would be an absolute WOW! Travel IQ would be so easy to encorporate into any Middle and High school classroom. It directly relates to geography, Social Studies - but hey, if student have a few extra minutes in an English class why not? They could brush up on geography and map skills while playing. I'm all for killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
I also joined a Ning group called Kiddie Quotes. It's all about the silly things that kids say. If you have small children in your life, you'll enjoy it. I've placed the link on the side bar, but here it is too. http://kiddiequotes.ning.com/
