I chose Photobucket as my web 2.0 tool. I really like how easy the site is to use. It's free, all you have to do is sign up. You can search the site for pictures. You just type in the subject of the picture that you're looking for and it will bring up pages of images related to that subject. What i found very useful was that when you find the picture you want to use you can hover your mouse over it and several different options will come up under the photo such as who posted the photo, it's image code and html code for you to copy directly. This way you don't have to continually save photos onto your computer. Teachers could use this in their classrooms as a way to have students find pictures to make a collage project or even have them look up a photo that related to their spelling words that way it's a visual to go along with the word. Photobucket is a great site, and I might just start using it myself!
