ActivInspire software allows you to create flip charts for Promethean boards for free. Seeing as Promethean boards are become common in schools this could be a very useful resource for you to use in your classroom.

Voicethread is a collaborative, multimedia based slideshow tool that allows users to view and share "Voicethreads" using audio, video, and images, from anywhere around the world, without software to install. An awesome sharing tool.

Tools teachers can use in their classroom - a very nice collection of applications and/or software for teachers. Although some of the applications are older Web2.0 tools, they still prove to be highly useful and effective in the classroom. Really cool aggregate resource site for tools you might need someday!

I think this is good app collection. I believe it is very useful because the site explain a little bit how to use the apps

Spicynodes is a web 2.0 application that is designed for creating mindmaps. This site is a very interactive way map out information. You are also able to save your mindmaps to your account so that you can come back to them. It reminds me of Prezi with a different twist.

I really like this site Mikael. It reminds me of the Inspiration software - but free! This would be great for schools to use who do not purchase that software. Mindmaps are a great organizational tool both for students and teachers, I can definitely see myself using this source in the future.

This blog shares information about different resources that teachers can use for free in their classrooms. There are so many free online resources out there and this blog does it's best to bring the best to you.

The individual blog of Richard Byrne, a high school US History and Civics teacher, who actively submits his educational technological findings to over 36,000 daily subscribers. Byrn's blog has been awarded edublogawards.com's "Best Individual Blog" award the past three consecutive years; the award recognizes those who promote and demonstrate educational values with social media. This site offers many great links to resources pertaining to Web2.0 for educational purposes. 

I really enjoy finding sources that combine many ways to use technology. I think this was a great source. I am so glad that you added this link. It will be a great tool to use when I am thinking of ways to integrate technology into the classroom.

A step-by-step video tutorial website. Great for familiarizing yourself with new programs or websites! UNI has just worked out a deal with the site, details are still in the air, but shortcuts to access all videos are on computers in all of UNI's labs!

An alternative to Google apps. You can write documents, make presentations, chat, and even have another source for email.

This is a very useful tool, and it is free for educational purposes. I don't know how needed it is, however, because most of the features can already be found on-line for free. I feel that Google would be a better option for schools, because it is more widely used and student would be able to make use it after graduation.

"online screen recorder for one-click recording from your browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux" Use for recording classes, presentations, or instructional videos for business or education.

I will definitively use this in my future classroom.I have used Jing in the past successfully but this tool has 10 more minutes of free recording than Jing does. This tool can be used both by teachers and students. Students can use this tool to create projects or for presentations. Jing can be found at: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html?gclid=CI2alve0jqwCFQXt7QodBF6zdw
