One of the tools that web 2.0 offers that I think can do a great job at furthering education is the website, blackboard. This site allows teachers to post grades, assignments, announcements, and virtually anything a student needs to know about the class. It is a great tool to help facilitate the effectiveness of a class.
One way that Facebook can be utilized in education is to form a class group where students can join. As a teacher, you could put information about the class and different articles that can help the students learn the material.
I agree with you, blackboard is a really good way to use a 2.0 website to further education. It's always really helpful to know what your grades are as you go along.
