Very much like Blackboard only free. It's easy to set up and has too many tools to list here. Just about anything you can think of using for classroom management is here. Great tool and easy to set up.

The format is just like Facebook, but it offers blogs, adding courses you teach, grades, allows comments on each students, tracks attendance, etc. Great tool to use as a teacher or school administrator.

This product is Ok. It seems like a fun play toy without a real use in the classroom.This could be a part in participation if they make a class bulletin board, but like I said I really do not think it would be of real use in the classroom.

This website appears to be a user friendly tool that would enable teachers (or anyone) to professionally produce diagrams, charts, graphs, and pictures. In my career, this would be a helpful tool for use in the classroom for both student interaction and setting up classroom rules and objectives.

Mindomo is a versatile Web-based mind mapping tool, delivering the capabilities of desktop mind mapping software in a Web browser - with no complex software to install or maintain. Create, edit mind maps, and share them with your colleagues or your friends.

I would use this tool, MindOMO, in my Spanish classroom because I would use it to have student link key grammar concepts or vocabulary words together. This would help them see how grammar concepts in Spanish are intermingled and therefore it would help them get a better grasp on the language.

This is a fantastic site for creating word clouds and it allows you to select the shape and change many different options within your project. This is a very easy tool to use.

Mixbook is a free service that allows users to create online photo books, cards and calendars. It comes with a set of design templates, but the user can create their own using the available design tools. Users can invite others to collaborate on the production of these online projects. Mixbook is mashed-up with sites like Facebook, Flickr and Picasa, so users can easily user their photos from these sites too. There's also a Mixbook Education program where students and teachers have free access to collaborative classroom tools, in a secure online environment and receive discounts on printed products.

The website dipity is a great classroom tool for teachers. This site can be used by teachers and students to track projects, class assignments, and the school year. This site could also be used to track current events or for a school project of historical events.

I love this site!!!! I think it would make my life a lot simpler and put responsibility on the parent and students to keep up with their grades and attendance. I am hoping I can get my school interested in this site.

This is a great site to create word clouds. The only thing I did not like is it does not let you select the shapes.

A.nnotate is an easy way to annotate documents online and collaborate annotating and note taking with peers. I don't think I would use this in my classroom, I think it would be better used as a personal study tool; one that the teacher could recommend to students looking for help with their study skills but I would not require it.

Voice based elearning tool. A teacher can create talkgroups that are like message boards but with voice and not text. It is easy to interact with students without being in the classroom to practice conversation, give oral presentations and collaborate in different projects.

The website MyiCourse.com is a user friendly website that allows anyone to create a virtual classroom, whether as a study aid or as an online learning tool. This site allows for anyone to create a site that is user friendly on a virtually accepted platform.

I will use this in the classroom to label pictures and aid in presenting new ideas. The students can add more info as they learn more using it as an ongoing teach piece. Labeling together on the Smart board and then again on their own copy will give a repeat of the knowledge.
