This is a very nice blogging application. Would be nice if it were multiplatform. Microsoft gets a lot of heat for crappy things but this one of the things coming out that is actually fairly good.

Writer makes it easy to share your photos and videos on almost any blog service-Windows Live, Wordpress, Blogger, Live Journal, TypePad, and many more.

Nicely-organized wiki of student-designed review pages for math concepts. Includes videos, screencasts, and links to useful sites.

Nice looking tool for creating multimedia presentations and displaying in a timeline of events.

Nice post. I think many of us are wanting to push past the cool and trivial and use Web 2.0 to do meaningful, authentic things (imagine how students feel.) I think a more important question is that "Are students bored with worksheets?" Authentic and network building experiences and learning should become part of what they do. They don't want the trivial any more than we do.

Beautiful, zoomable presentation tool. Currently still in private beta, and they sound stingy about invites, but very nice looking site!

Zemanta ia a Firefox add-on that scans your content as you construct blog posts and suggests links, photos, related articles, and automatic tags for your post. I tried it out for the first time today and it was super easy to use and, I think, it adds some nice time-saving functionality to your blogging engine.

This is a very lowtech organizer. But it has some nice educational applications. Check out the storyboard.

14+ yr olds review U13 sites for content and describe its use and appropriateness for the targeted ages. Nice activity to introduce the critical eye to kids during an eSafety unit.

LiveBinders is dedicated to helping you empower others with the information you work hard to collect. If you're like us, you've used 'creative' tactics to keep track of all your links either through email, word documents or endless lists in your browser bookmarks folder. It's hard to put a group of links together in any meaningful format. And sharing a group of URLs is cumbersome for everyone - the sender and the receiver. Have you ever looked through your bookmarks list and forgotten what they are all for? We created LiveBinders so that you could do with digital information what you do with the papers on your desk - organize them into nice containers - like 3-ring binders on your shelf. With our online-binders you can also upload your documents and easily combine them with your links in a neat and organized way. We welcome you to create as many livebinders as you need to help organize the stuff you collect and share on the Web. Thank you Teachers We have been delighted that teachers are using livebinders as a way to communicate with parents, students, and each other. We could not have done it without the feedback from our launch, and hope LiveBinders will continue to make your digital life easier. We're still fixing bugs and adding features so please keep that feedback coming! Let us know at feedback@livebinders.com. Thanks for your help!

Really nice collaborative science site. Access resources, partake in discussions, set up virtual classroom spaces, connect to other teachers, scientists, etc.
