This website discusses incorporating technology into a geography lesson. It focuses on involving others who would tweet their locations and hints on specific locations. Students would then search for these places on Google Earth.
This website discusses using Twitter in the language classroom. The students could actually tweet or Facebook message others from Hispanic countries (or whatever country they are studying). It would be a great way to get the students communicating outside of the classroom in the language.

Mentor Mob is a way to organize websites. It allows you to put all the websites together that you want shown. It would be a great way to get the students involved in their learning because you could even have them build their own lists of websites to review or teach a concept, then build quizzes or homework questions around it. I am really excited to try this out.

A drawing tool that allows you to develop pictures, charts, diagrams, etc. I am really excited to find this and be able to have students create Double Bubble maps, Venn Diagrams, etc, online.
