Use these tools. Perhaps sticking with ones that we KNOW work for us. Would a educational review of web 2.0 tools help? Focusing on the application of these tools?

What we need is a tool to tie web 2.0 tools together in some way (something akin to Facebook with its applications) to allow us to collect together all of the content relevant to our students in one place for our students. I've enrolled for a Twine invite - does this claim to do something like this? it would help if all web 2.0 sites supported a standard like OpenID, so that a single username/password could operate multiple services. Having said that, a Google account (iGoogle, Reader, Gmail etc.) and Yahoo account (Pipes, Flickr) get you a long way.
