Go2Web20.net is a resource for finding Web 2.0 tools and apps. During my exploration of the site, I found an amazing website called ZinePal which can be used to make PDFs or eBooks from information found on the web or information entered by hand.
I can think of a multitude of uses for this tool! Personally, I can use it as an educator to create lesson books that students can access from a reader platform which can be installed on any smartphone or tablet device. If I am not working with students who have access to those technologies, I can just as easily print the book or magazine to a PDF to hand out a paper copy. This makes organizing lessons so much easier because all of the information I would want to give the students could be placed in one easy to read location.
I could also use this site as a project assignment for the students. They could create magazines about a topic they research, and it can quickly be shared with parents as a progress report on what we are covering in class.
I am astounded by the versatility of this web application and look forward to using it in my own education as soon as possible!
