I like that particular tool so much that I'm adding it to this list.

"Students at Asher Public School, Asher, Oklahoma, are currently collaborating with students in Illinois, Indiana, and Washington using a global platform that consists of the project Ning, Wiki, and Skype. The Ning is located at: http:dontextandrive.ning.com/. Membership into the Ning is representative of their pledge not to text and drive. The Ning sufficiently addresses current research, data, laws, and even legislation through active blogging and forum discussion exchanges. We are interested in collaborating with schools from within the United States to outside. This is a global issue and deserves global attention. We want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Please join us."
