RSS
At first I couldn't see any real use for using Google Reader or an RSS aggregator. I set up Reader and all it really did was use the items from my iGoogle homepage - not particularly impressive. However, I did play around with it a bit and found an article from New Zealand on using blogs in English teaching, and I suddenly had that Eureka! moment.
If students in your class had all set up blogs, how would you ever be able to tell when something had changed without checking them all individually? The answer is use Google Reader, so it tells you when something has changed.
I can see that Google Reader (or similar) could be a tool that might be very valuable to teachers using Web 2.0
