The range of sources and topics is pretty broad. One site Rezed, is a source for learning and digital worlds. This includes Second Life . Second life is a site where you become an avatar or digital representation of yourself, sort of a cartoon representing you. You go through the digital world. I didn't get too far into it because it was eating time like crazy but I understand there are real banks, school and businesses that work through Second Life. I know you can go to conferences, workshops and classes, etc. That seemed a little out of range of my students. I felt the same way about Twitter, a site where you post short messages of what you are doing at any given moment. But when I read about the power of Obama Twittering during the campaign it becomes very interesting. Weblogged is a wiki, online editable database of information, written by Will Richardson, that offers much on blogs, podcasts, wikis, etc. Maybe you have a topic you would like to discuss or a great website on a read-write website. Come on and jump in. We all want to know.
P.S. Russ, I didn't get back to your blog and wiki until later and want to say they are great. Love, love, love the picture and the "feel" of your blog. I subscribed. Do you find it take a lot of time?

Pacing of the wikispace and blog hasn't been an issue so far simply because the students haven't gotten the hang of commenting by themselves yet in large numbers(or they simply don't care to). Most posts on either site are homework assignments, so I know when to look for waves of posts. As to my favorite websites: here's mine Teacher's Domain
