I'm exploring Classroom 2.0 again and finding it to be quite a useful site. It is a "social network for those interested in Web 2.0 and collaborative technologies in education." To get the most from the site, you need to become a member, but it is a free site and has not generate any spam for me. There is a beginner group as well as starting tips and a "Tour of Classroom 2.0" webcast video to help you get acclimated.

This is a good place to network with people who are using Web 2.0 tools. For example, I'm looking for ways to use the iPod Touch and Skype in the classroom. I'm watching an "iPod Touch Schoolwide Implementation" discussion to see what kinds of projects schools are using, what their policies are, and what, if any, problems they encounter and address. I've also found several teachers who are looking for classrooms to participate in projects communicating with Skype. I've "shared" these on del.icio.us (an example of Web 2.0 bookmarking) and also have chosen to receive an email each time someone posts to these discussions.

This would be a great site for those wanting to wade in who don't know quite where to start. You'll have lots of experts to help you along the way and lots of novices to grow and explore along with you.
