While selecting the WEB2.0 Platforms, I always search for the Free ones, this one is Absolutely Free, which gives me more confidence in their impetus for education and sharing knowledge. It is also really cool looking, so I felt drawn in by the Yacapaca Icon. What does it mean...Yacapaca... what language... http://www.urbandictionary.com/products.php?term=yacapaca&defid=1660827 or look at http://www.definition-of.net/yacapaca And there it is , AZTEC (very cosmic considering the iMovie pieces I just posted on the Blog!) I think I like this better then Twiducate for so many reasons. As you will see in the next screenshot, there are several educational categories and each one has a certain number of entries to date. It really is exciting to see that http://yacapaca.com allows the Teacher access to work uploaded from other Teachers curriculum.
I particularly like the fact that you can share even beyond http://yacapaca.com to enhance the saturation of the learning experiences expression. I have decide that this will be my Web 2.0 Platform for my RILS Project. It seems that this type of educational platform really enhances the options for shared knowledge with no Borders. Since I have had the opportunity to travel a lot, this seems to be a bridge over the troubled waters of education. I am looking forward to the day they add SKYPE and initiate Global Debate Teams.
http://yacapaca.com offers curriculum from all over the World. It seems like the United Kingdom is really resourcing it's capabilities and free educational Platform. While moving through some of their Resources, it seems they have a user rated quality control built in to the varying tests, papers etc.
This website could do no wrong in my book. It allows the Teacher to plan coursework for their students, online or offline while creating an educational community that shares in their love of learning.

Thanks Karen for sharing this web2.0 tool with me. I have never heard of YaCapaca until I read your glowing reviews. I am not real big with alot of technology but I was very much impressed by your remarks. I will be checking it out this week. Good overview of the produce now my task is to see if I can get the same feel, It takes me a minute to process new stuff. Thanks again for the new resource.
