Best of web 2.0 in Education:

http://www.graspr.com/
this site is very interesting how they provide how to videos that can be viewed online. What makes it different from other sites where you would view videos such as you tube, is that it allows you to take notes about the video while watching. You are required to sign in order to take notes. Viewing the video without taking notes can be done without having to sign in. I think I will try a lesson with my students. Having them watch a video and take notes while watching. This could engage them in learning while they work on note taking skills. Not all of the videos are available to take notes while watching directly from the website graspar. Some of them require that you go to that persons website. The website has a search box so that you can search for the how to video that you are most interested in. I can see man possibilities for using this site in the classroom!
