Several requested a hit, so here goes.
____________________________________
Original Request:
I am pondering a breakout session called Web 2.0 and Beyond: what does
it all mean. This would focus on defining and briefly demonstrating
some of the latest web 2.0 tools and terms, things like wordle, clouds,
tags, mashups, and more.
My question is: what terms do you think librarians need to know / be
aware of that they may not now? I don't really need links to describe
things, just need a list of terms you would include in such a
presentation.

Take a look at Prezi; an amazing tool for learning.

Don't know if you are familiar with 23 Things (or variations of it).
The Nebraska Library Commission did an online learning program last year
to encourage participants to learn more about Web 2.0 tools. Here is the
link to the original program. The things for each week will give you
some ideas. http://l2ne.blogspot.com/2008/09/home.html
This year they began a second program. This time each new thing is put
up for a month. Last month was Google Maps. This month is "Getting
Social with WorldCat.org"

Here's the original site for the 23 things concept. I think this is one
of the most amazing things a school district could do to teach and
integrate web 2.0 into curriculum as well as raise bells about how
important it is to UNBLOCK some sites!!!
http://plcmcl2-things.blogspot.com/
The original program was created for a public library setting.. There
have
been many adaptations since then including California School Library
Association's sites that are geared specifically for the school library
setting http://schoollibrarylearning2.blogspot.com/
and for classroom teachers http://classroomlearning2.blogspot.com/.

Simple Spark http://simplespark.com
not a big fan of "Go2Web20". Perhaps it's just me but the process of
clicking through the wall of icons, figuring out the purpose of each
tool and
determining if it's appropriate for my needs is very time consuming.
I have found a far better site (IMHO) for Web 2.0 apps at "SimpleSpark
(http://simplespark.com).
The SimpleSpark site tracks almost 10,000 Web 2.0 tools and services.
It uses the application icon like "Go2Web20" but underneath each icon
is a brief description about the app or service. I really like that.
In addition, there is also a rudimentary rating scale based on user
feedback. Hardly scientific but better then nothing.
Apps are also divided into main categories (ie; Media, Office, Travel,
etc.) and sub-categories for ease of browsing and there's also a text
search box.
@@@
http://www.go2web20.net/
you can click on SelectTag and then choose something you need, such as
timelines, from the menu. It then pulls all the those particular apps
for you. You still have to search each to see if it meets your needs
but there a just a handful instead of a screen full. It took me ages to
discover that tip, but now I know it's great!

Folks, you might want to take a look at a paper by Tom March on
webquests in a 2.0 world. Good reading...
http://greav.ub.edu/iem/index.php?journal=iem&page=article&op=view&path[]=122
Things do change.....perhaps webquests have become another project based
Learning tool
@@@
Tom March has a brilliant site at http://www.web-and-flow.com
Using a template, it allowsyou a free trial to make a number of
web-based activities from a hotlist to a treasure hunt to a true
webquest. The
step-by-step instructions not only tell you how to use the template but
also
how to construct the activity itself. (Much that is called a webquest
is not.)
You can create a short home page so those using your webquest know your
credentials and there is extra help along the way such as Five ways to
know if you have a good topic. I've used it many times and thoroughly
recommend it.
