Today, John Greene talked about Pi 2.0 in our faculty meeting, and I was able to do a piece on some of my Pi 2.0 "products". I showed the teachers the A Separate Peace blog that I set up, demonstrating the different categories and postings. I also explained Pixton, how I'd gotten the idea from Ben's presentation at the all-levels meeting, and showed them an example of one of the comics my student did using our vocabulary words. Because Delicious came up during John's presentation, I also demonstrated how that works. I've only gotten so far as to organize my websites by category, topic, etc.. I have not done a lot of exploring others' tags, but we played around with them a bit together.
People seemed receptive and interested, though there seemed to be some hesitance about the amount of time some of these things take. In general, I feel like just about everything I've done on Pi 2.0 is, or will eventually be, a time saver - though new things always take me extra time on the front end.

Thanks for sharing at the faculty meeting! These things definitely take some set up time in the front end, but I like that they save time for the teacher in the long run AND it puts some responsibility on the students.
