Posting pictures on Flickr could be a way to share about pollution in the Everglades. Looking up pictures of unpolluted Everglades and comparing them to polluted Everglades pictures would be beneficial to showing the children the extent of the damage taking place. I might have my students start a blog about ways to keep pollution down, specifically in certain parts of the country since habits vary so widely concerning types of pollution.
If my class were studying pollution for two weeks, say, I would take a different part of the U.S. every day (Or even the world, given a longer period of time for study)and have my students blog about different solutions to pollution problems. They could also connect via social networking sites with students in areas we study to discuss what the students in the different areas were seeing take place because of pollution.

I think the Web 2.0 movement really gets it's grounding in collaboration and group projects. Social networking is okay, but Web 2.0 has some serious teaching opportunities!
