The assignment for this weeks web 2.0 tool was to find something that we could use in our action research. Since I am building a website for my AR project I was looking for something that could help me with this. I originally had a plan to find something that would help me keep track of the time spent on each part of the website but decided that this would not really be a web 2.0 tool. I have been doing the research and have come to agree with the importance of having a social platform within an education website so I decided to look for tools that could help me incorporate these elements into my website design. While there are many tools out there I had to keep in mind that privacy would be my number one priority and I did not want that part of my site linking to other sites or ads that I could not control. After many hours of searching i found elgg, which looks like it will be challenging to incorporate with my limited amount of website building experience but looks to be perfect if I can implement it. The tool (which was created for education) gives you the ability to add blogs, instant messaging, bookmarking and other social networking abilities to your site. The picture above was taken from the elgg.net website.
