The document introduces several Web 2.0 tools for teachers to explore during a virtual recess period. It provides links to interactive maps and taxonomies of Google tools, as well as bookmarking, video creation, classroom behavior monitoring, and narrated presentation tools for teachers to try. Teachers are asked to spend 15 minutes exploring at least 3 tools and then share their favorites in a virtual faculty meeting book afterward.
