For Special Consideration - Especially for Teachers of Young Learners Flickr Storm: http://www.zoo-m.com/flickr-storm/ Read The Words (it reads the words...): http://www.readthewords.com/ Simplybox (organize web resources): http://simplybox.com/main example: URL: http://simplybox.com/embedded/?cid=21851) LetterPop (simple newsletter templates and tools): http://letterpop.com Moourl (url shortener): http://moourl.com Bubbleshare (image manipulation and more): http://www.bubbleshare.com/vozMe (embed spoken word - directions perhaps for non-readers in blogs etc.): http://vozme.comVocaroo (embed spoken word - directions perhaps for non-readers): http://vocaroo.com/File dropper (File Sharing and storage): http://www.filedropper.com/TinyPaste (share snippets of text via link): http://tinypaste.com/Good applications Gail. You have several of mine but some that I would like to add would be:1) Wordle - http://wordle.net - Effective and fun way to create word clouds, for introducing new topics and subjects, reviewing information, or just designing your world with words.2) Joggle - http://beta.joggle.com/ - Excellent tool for creating slide shows for student project presentations, for teaching multimedia lessons in class, or online presentations. You can embed movies straight onto your website. It is free and joggle hosts your movies.AND MY NUMBER ONE (For today anyway) - Jing - http://www.jingproject.com/ - Snap a picture of your screen, Record video of onscreen action, and share instantly over the web, IM, email, or embed straight onto your own website. THIS IS SO COOL! Jing is free and allows you to record screencasts, with audio, and save the files as a swf, or if you pay for the pro version, mp4 files. Jing also has automatic uploading capabilities with Screencast.com (So I guess I am recommending screencast.com too!) I am using jing to record lectures and upload to my website. This is very cool!
