David Arendale has put together a really great set of tutorials covering iTunes, podcasts, YouTube, Blogger, and Wiki Web Pages. He uses these in his classes having students create podcasts and other media as part of their learning experience.
This is a superb online recording tool where you can make a 30 second audio recoding at the touch of a button. Just share the short link to share your message. There are apps for mobile devices and a bookmarklet for quick access. It's a wonderful way to give homework/instructions and for students to ask questions when away from class.

The A.T.TIPScast: Assistive Technology Tools In Public Schools is a podcast about using technology to help students meet their educational goals. Each episode features at least one "A.T.TIP" that can be used to differentiate and individualize the learning process.
The poll for this list — The Best Web 2.0 Applications For Education — 2009 — is located below this post, and closes on February 1, 2010. Please vote for no more than ten of the thirty-two sites listed. Please note that I’ll be listing these sites in my post from my pick from number thirty-two and ending at first place, but the poll is listed in the opposite order.
Number twenty: PodOmatic is an
extraordinarily easy way to create a podcast. Sign-up and your class has your
own channel — all you need is a computer microphone. I’m adding it to The Best Sites
To Practice Speaking English. I’m also adding it to The
Best Places Where Students Can Create Online Learning/Teaching Objects For An
“Authentic Audience”.
PinDax is a new web tool that lets you
“pin” virtual “Post It” notes on a virtual bulletin board. It’s very, very
similar to a tool I like a lot called Wallwisher. It has a lot more “bells
and whistles” than Wallwisher. That additional complexity (and I have to
admit, it doesn’t seem that much more complex — it just seems to have a
lot more options) doesn’t necessarily make it more attractive for classroom use.
