Evernote "clips" materials from all over the web so they can be kept and sorted. Materials can be backed up and sent to other people. You can also keep various lists and calendars.
This is a web-based quiz type game that allows up to 30 students to respond to questions you made. The game only allows for multiple choice type questions. Players earn points based on speed and accuracy of their responses. This is a great tool for student engagement and reviewing terms/concepts in class.
Kenton - This looks like a fun site! I can see it motivating students. It reminds me somewhat of exittix.com. One thing I like about Kahoot! is the opportunity to have students be the creators of the quiz. One limitation is the multiple choice format. It would be hard to assess/practice higher order thinking skills through multiple choice questions in a literature class (which is what I taught).
This tool allows teachers to create review games, polls, and quizzes that students can access with cell phones. It turns the cell phone into a "buzzer" so that students can earn points by answering correctly and quickly. It posts the tops scores after every round which leads to some healthy competition.

This site allows you to make effortless videos and share them with others. The site does the editing for you and creates a very professional looking product. You can stitch together almost any image or video clip making it great for story telling.
Animoto is a great tool for sharing pictures and video. It makes very professional looking videos. Teachers can sign up for a free premium account that they can renew every year.
Although Pinterest can be a social networking site, many teachers have "boards" filled with "pins" of different curriculum ideas, videos, materials, and more.
Students can answer poll questions and multiple choice questions which are projected. The results are made into a graph. They can also text answers to open-ended questions.
Infographics is something I've introduced into my classroom this past year. We've all seen them. Similar to Smore, it allows students to present learning in a visual format.
Twitter is a device to not only stay connected to friends, but it also a way to stay connected to what is happening in the education world. Twitter allows you to follow people and see the things they are tweeting about in education.
Dropbox has been a life saver for me with my 8th grade science kids. We do a weather photo project and they must digitally send it to me. Well, the photo projects are usually too large for email so Dropbox to the rescue. This product is one that both teacher and students can use. Perfect for collaboration as others can edit what you share with them. A similar product would be Google Drive.
