Stick 16 Student 2.0 Tools

I thought the brief videos on vision of K-12 students and the one done about college students was very powerful. It would be something that would be worthwhile showing at a faculty or school board meeting. I also thought the articles linked were very useful. The one called "Web 2.0 Backpack: Web Apps for students"lists many useful sites and briefly explains what they can be used for. With the heavy filtering many schools are forced to implement, I can see many of these sites being blocked because of their social networking applications. It is hard to show students these tools if they can't be used in schools. Maybe it would be easy to unfilter these sites -- Something I need to look into....
