Sharing Web 2.0 tools in spite of firewall issues

I would like to share a blog I created this summer to introduce Web 2.0 tools to teachers and students in our school district. I share it here because I formatted it to be copied by educators in other places. Our district firewall is very restrictive. I wanted to create positive conversation in hopes of creating change and awareness.
I'd love to have some feedback on this...it certainly is a work in progress!

Thank you for sharing your blog about Web 2.0 tools. It's fabulous! I put it in my RSS feeds so I can read your updates. I will explore Prezi more thoroughly. I looked at it briefly ealier in the summer but thought I had to pay for it. Now I will take a harder look at it. I appreciate your sharing.

Thanks for the encouragement,Victoria! I really love Prezi...it takes a little getting used to...but I can't wait to make one for my students!

Thanks, Dawn! I'll take a look! I'm going the "small steps" route with my blog...so as to not overwhelm my teachers. I'm new to all this, too! I am amazed at the quantity of tools out there and how ignorant I was about their existance. :)
