Wow, I started looking for educational innovations and got lost on a long web voyage. I am back now to post a few ideas:

Examples of Web 2.0 educational innovations:

Wiki books: e.g. cook book:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Recipes

This is something that I could envisage using for collaborative learning with lower level students of EFL.

Book corner club:

Learners read the same book from different perspectives and discuss it in a forum. This is a way to turn reading from a solitary to group activity.

The climate change game:

Maybe not as collaborative, but could be a good way to raise awareness about a topic which can be difficult to make attractive.
