This video portrays a teacher who has a pro-technology age attitude towards developing ways to promote valid and interesting lessons for students who are digital natives ...
The teacher refers to herself as a "teacherpreneur" and points out that often times the students are teaching her different technology concepts such as "terraform." I appreciated the atmosphere of collaborative learning that seemed to present itself in her classroom and the students definitely seemed to be engaged in learning.
I found the above podcast on the edutopia website, here is the address: http://www.edutopia.org/digital-generation-teachers-vicki-davis
The website that I found is: http://www.techsoup.org/toolkits/web2/
This website is geared towards helping non-profit organization but is full of information about the various Web 2.0 tools and how they are used, how to get started, sign up for e-mails of articles and discussions, visit the learning center tab and community tab for multiple links and leads to helpful technology information.

Jennifer I think that your post was very interesting. The teacher in the video really does believe in the usefulness of technology in the classroom. It was neat to see the steps that she takes to make learning more interesting for her students. The website also contained a lot of good information about Web 2.0 tools. I browsed around for a bit and found great information.
