I can't see any barriers to using any of these applications other than getting teacher support and teacher involvement. Teachers need to see the value of these applications in the context of teaching and learning. Web 2.0 implementation needs to be marketed to the whole college. If teachers are not sold on the idea then it will be difficult to get students to participate. I can see Podcasts being made by teachers and students using our Graded Readers as a resource.
