Online collaboration with Google apps

Everybody knows enough about some topic - be it English, science, yoga or bourbon - to teach other people about it. And every topic is covered by content scattered around the Web. The idea behind a new site called Learnist is to give everybody a spot to teach through curation. The site, which is also available as an app for iPhone and iPad, features user-created lessons that bring together Web pages, videos, Google Books e-books and other items on a specific topic. At the moment, only a relatively small group of people approved by the site - including some teachers - can create these "learnings," but anyone can check them out.

word clouds with style. Create shapes with word clouds

To Gerald Carey - As an English teacher, word clouds are a great tool. Taking text from literature or even from your own students' writing and placing it in a word cloud builder allows students to find theme words because the words used the most often are bigger than the others. I've used my students' quickwrite entries about a chosen piece of text and shown them that they are all thinking through the literature the same way. It's pretty eye opening for an English class!

Tagxedo turns words -- famous speeches, news articles, slogans and themes, even your love letters -- into a visually stunning word cloud, words individually sized appropriately to highlight the frequencies of occurrence within the body of text.

Fantastic resource for teachers who need a list of web tools and/or apps to serve different purposes in their classroom projects and activities.

"The simplest way to manage life, work and play."

This is a great yet simple tool to use. The chat in real time feature has lots of potential. I've used Wallwisher for this style of communication/collaboration in the past, but CorkboardMe seems a better alternative (although Wallwisher is completely free and allows privacy settings/security measures to be taken without additional cost.)
