These Web 2.0 tools are just the tip of the iceberg!
What fun to introduce students to a variety of tools that can help them in learning as well as encourage them to use their creativity.

Cite-U
Cite-U is a good resource for creating citations, and for creating a personal library of scholarly papers. I use it constantly, and recommend it especially for students in the upper grades. It is Web 2.0 since it can be shared, and can be accessed from any computer.
Storyjumper
This is nice to use with elementary school children, they get to self-publish, and share with their families, and each other.
delicious
I've been using delicious to bookmark all of my websites for years. It is fantastic to be able to tag the websites and group them into easily accessible resources for teaching my classes, or to send to the teachers for whom I very often do research as part of my job as a Librarian. I find the resource, bookmark it in my delicious account, and share it with a teacher, or teachers. It is very easy, and totally free. I encourage my students and colleagues to use it.
Shelfari
Keep track of your personal library, join a community of readers similar to yourself. This might prove interesting to your students, they can read reviews of books by their peers, as well as create their own. Books can be categorized by tagging, which can lead to discussions about classification, and the plusses and minuses of this or other systems. Collaborative efforts in information organization is a part of the Shelfari experience.
bubbl.us
This is a great way to make concept maps. I found this by browsing, and was so glad that I did. It made concept mapping a whole new experience.
