Blubbr is a neat quiz creation service that I recently learned about on Free Technology for Teachers. Using Blubbr you can create interactive quizzes that are based on YouTube clips. Your quizzes can be about anything of your choosing. The structure of the quizzes has a viewer watch a short clip then answer a multiple choice question about the clip. Viewers know right away if they chose the correct answer or not.  Great for reinforcing a topic on internet safety, social netiquette, social skills etc.

A place to get young teens to write and even read!  Figment users-most of whom are between 13 and 24 years old-create a profile and upload their work, giving it a title and picking from a large selection of stock images to use as cover art.

The site is free and there is capabilities to create educator/ group profiles to have privacy within your own class before making writings public.Rally good for self expression, releasing feelings thoughts and creativity.    

Meograph is a free, easy multimedia storytelling tool. Students can quickly combine videos, audio, pictures, text, maps, timelines, and links to create what the developers call "four-dimensional storytelling." No registration is required and an education version is available.  You have to play around with it to get the concept before introducing it to students.
