The following applications are not an inclusive list. I just wanted to share with you some ideas to get you started with online research! Welcome to the "cloud!"

Ask Questions:
//Identify your research problem or question. Read about your issue. Analyze the problem and develop questions. Consider non-traditional sources such as Social Networking Websites from which to ask questions or identify issues.//
 * Twitter --do a search to find relevant information; develop a PLN and follow influential people; tweet questions and receive responses from your network
 * Facebook --develop a PLN in Facebook. Many libraries and organizations also have a presence in this social network.
 * Ning --Links to great networks of professional communities.
 * Classroom.2.0
 * Future of Education
 * Teacher Libraran

Gather Information:
//Gather keywords based on questions. Choose the best source of information (print/nonprint). Search for information. Record notes and bibliographic information.//
 * Evernote - Organize and annotate websites
 * A.nnotate - Annotate PDF pages
 * Delicious - Social Bookmarking
 * Diigo - Social Bookmarking
 * Flickr - Gather Creative Commons Photographs, Store and tag photographs

Organize Information:
//Summarize your findings. Draw conclusions and inferences. Use a graphical organizer or notecards to arrange the information.//
 * // Noodletools - Cite and annotate your sources. Take notes. Create an virtual outline. Share reference lists with teachers. Students can share lists with one another. Teachers can comment on student reference lists and notecards for formative and summative assessment. //

Prepare/Present Information:
//Decide on the best medium(s) to use to communicate your information. Prepare a written paper, script and/or story. Prepare a Works Cited Page.//
