Welcome to the Textual Sea Wiki!

This wiki is for the Effective Web2.0 in the Classroom workshop (aka 'Blogs for learning not for looks') at the 2008 NZATE Conference Navigating the Textual Sea.

Here you will find information and links to the tools and examples we discussed. I have added in a few more tools that I didn't have time to discuss. Feel free to contact me - my e-mail is below.
