From Kevin Hickey (eLearning Adviser RSC-Northwest)...

"I thought I'd pass on the details of a really interesting interview I found via 'The Infinite thinking machine' which is a Google sponsored website about eLearning."

"Its an interview with Kristian Still who teaches sports at Southampton's Taunton College and has used a wide range of web 2.0 technologies for teaching."

"The interview is available as an mp3 file (be warned its a long interview) and you can follow the sites he talks about by clicking through a 'trail' he has set up using a site called TrailFire."

"All the details can be found here: http://www.infinitethinking.org/2007/07/pe-geek-boys-sports-and-wikis.html

Below is a list of some of the resources he uses (compiled by Kevin)...

• Trailfire - Use trails to guide others to what’s important on the web. Place comments on web pages. Link them together to form a trail.
  
  
• Wikispaces – Wikispaces lets you create simple web pages that groups, friends, and families can edit together.
  
  
• Slide - Slide makes widgets that help people express themselves and tell emotionally engaging stories through personalized photos and videos created on Slide.com and viewed anywhere on the web or their desktop.
  
  
• Ning Networks
  
  
• NextGen Teachers –Educators connecting to explore the next generation of teaching and learning.
  
  
• Classroom 2.0 –the social networking site for those interested in the practical application of computer technology (especially Web 2.0) in the classroom and in their own professional development
  
  
• Bubbl.us -Bubbl.us is a simple and free web application that lets you brainstorm online. Collaborative online mind map.
  
  
• Quiz Busters -Quiz-Busters is an interactive plenary quiz for two teams based on the popular television quiz program Blockbusters. The resource is designed to be used on an interactive whiteboard as a teacher led activity but can be played by individual students. Hopefully you and your students will find this a fun alternative to traditional question and answer plenary and can actively contribute to Assessment for Learning (AFL).
  
  
• PurposeGames -A site dedicated to learning new things, or brushing up on things forgotten, in an innovative and hopefully more fun manner than what's offered elsewhere. Having to learn new things, especially when told to do so, like memorizing and knowing the capitals of Europe for a test in school, can be real hard and teadious. Most of the people who's tried the games hosted here has found that there's actually a way to learn what they need to learn, and have fun while doing so.
  
  So in short, PurposeGames host games to play for a purpose. Hopefully, it's fun as well!
  
  
• Quizlet -A lightning fast way to memorize vocabulary lists. It's like flashcards, but much more fun and interactive.
  
  
• Googledocs -Colaborative, online word processing and spreadsheets
  
  
• VoiceThread -A VoiceThread is an online media album that allows people to make comments, either audio or text, and share them with anyone they wish. A VoiceThread allows an entire group's story to be told and collected in one place.
