Upload and share your PowerPoint presentations, Word documents and Adobe PDF Portfolios on SlideShare. Share publicly or privately. Add audio to make a webinar.
Since we use Google Docs at our school, we can accomplish a lot of the same things that slideshare does, but I still think it's a valuable site for making collaborative slide presentations and sharing them online.
I use Slideshare quite often in order to take a PowerPoint presentation that I used at a face-to-face professional development session and place it for viewing on a website. It's quick and easy. I usually have a website for most of the professional development presentations I do with resources, etc. and so this just makes it very quick and easy to add the PP that I used also.

EtherPad
EtherPad is the only web-based word processor that allows people to work
together in really
real-time.
When multiple people edit the same document simultaneously, any changes are
instantly reflected on everyone's screen. The result is a new and productive way
to collaborate on text documents, useful for meeting notes, drafting sessions,
education, team programming, and more.
EtherPad is a web-based word processor that is an alternative to GoogleDocs when you don't need the complexity of having accounts, permissions, etc. A free public etherpad is shared with others by sending out the URL. Any one can access, edit, etc. just from the URL. I have found this tool very useful in collaborative meetings/planning sessions as a way to quickly draft and edit work collaboratively.

As part of the fourth grade curriculum students are expected to learn
the fifty states and their capital cities. This activity is a way to practice
their knowledge about the states and their capitals.

This site is a great way to steer them towards something they might like. Most of the contributors are male authors, and they serve as great examples for my students of guys who like to read and write.
