Free screen sharing from any device, including smart phones and tablets. Hmm ... does this replace reflections or Apple TV in presentations?

I like this one but could someone comment on how their experiences was when using it, and what did they use it for. This would be helpful.

Mary Vaughn writes:  Want to share and collaborate across the classroom?  How about across the state or further?  http://www.screenleap.com/ is the perfect tool to do that.  Easy to use, all you have to do is download the java applet and you're ready to share your screen with anyone at anytime.  This works in tandem with apple devices or any device that has internet connection.  Unfortunately, right now it's a one-way deal - you'll have to use a pc or mac to share.  It gives a simple code or website you can share with others to see your screen.  There's a little lagtime but not terribly so.  So, if you have teachers who have data projectors going on the fritz, want to do a PLC with other colleagues, or whatever collaboration you're working with, this could be the perfect tool.  Hint:  use the tabs to open up different websites - you have to keep the original screenleap up and running.

Bitly can take a long web address (a URL) and turn it into a short one. Teachers can use the data and analytics features to see if people are clicking on the things that they are sharing. Super easy to use and very useful.

Twitter conversation to share great things happening in your school.

I think that diigo is wonderful. It is such a good way to organise your bookmarks.  It's also a great way to collaborate on resources. I often find great websites that my colleagues may find useful, though I'm never quite sure if they are worthy of clogging their inboxes. With diigo I can just add to a group list and then everyone can access them.

This is an amazing tool which allows you to edit almost any webpage, including adding your own content and deleting what you don't want, while retaining active links and the page's functions. Really useful for editing graphic heavy sites on a slow network or removing links to unsuitable content.
