Trailfire

It does seem that the explosion of Web 2.0 tools have slowed down. Here is one that I have played with for awhile but just came up in a conversation today.
I am someone whose mind has begun to mimic the web. I jump from idea to idea...each one building on the discussion of the last. Well, there is a tool which can help someone understand my path of thinking...or you can take them on a journey with you through the web.
The tool is trailfire...it hasn't seemed to take off a great deal. The idea is great though. You make comments on a series of webpages which then people can follow through the web. This is more than just a listing of sites. It is a listing, with comments in a particular order. Perhaps not great for sharing general topic areas....but for helping students work through a topic that builds on itself, this is a great idea. It provides scaffolding without limiting what the students can go and look at.
Here is an example of one I put together trying to find best practices in blogging, starting from an excellent pre-calc blog. Follow the trail.
Happy exploring!!
