In a foreign language class this would be a good tool to have students describe an image, record their voices, and listen to what others have recorded.

A student maintained wiki filled with plenty of tutorials and other web 2.0 tools that educators might find useful.

Powerful and Free Tools for Teachers and Students

The cloud and online learning are key trends and opportunities to transform education today. And with today's launch and availability of Office 365 for education, schools now have a holistic collaboration platform that will change the game. As schools face ever-tightening budgets and the pressure to innovate, Microsoft is offering enterprise quality technology for free that will modernize teaching practices and help prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.

Let students write multiple ending stories and then share them with a unique URL.

Great resource that gives a breakdown of tech use in classroom, the tools required and student work samples. 

When principals hear the words Twitter and Facebook they cringe. Immediately, visions of excessive socialization, time wasted, and meaningless conversations in the form of updates come to mind. This is true, in many cases, when these tools are used for personal use. I am here to share ways in which principals can harness the power of these free resources to improve communications, public relations, professional growth, instruction, and create a brand presence for your school. Quite simply, social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook have improved my effectiveness and efficiency as an educational leader.

social networking in education

Great easy way for younger students to make animation movies.

great ideas for multiple uses of wikis - with examples of each, however some of these links don't work.

Excellent ideas on ways to integrate technology into the curriculum and to help students achieve in the classroom.

Perhaps the easiest Wiki I've ever scene. Anyone, and I mean anyone, can now create a wiki for use with their students or to share information with colleagues. I wonder what their business model is and how long they will be able to sustain this approach, but until then I plan on using orb.com with teachers as a great entry point tool. 

Really cool! Watch and make your own Google Search stories - videos on how to do searches of specific types. Would be good for students/educators to create to assist others in specific searches.
