    For the last few months I have especially liked Zoho's (http://zoho.com) and Diigo (http://www.diigo.com). These are 2 robust tools. I continue to learn new things about them and am impressed with the many contributions they can make to teaching and learning. Both are also helpful in the management of files and information. Trust me; you and your students should be using both of these technologies. :)

    Clif,

    I love Zoho Creator and use it for all my online forms, but my favorite resource is wikispaces. I have had little trouble gaining buy-in once people see the ease of use.

    Google Apps continue to make life easier. Several of the teachers I coach are using Google Groups and Docs with their classes.
    My teachers love PhotoStory 3, Animoto, BubblShare and Flickr.
    Flickr Storm is the best at searching and managing photos!
