"Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring all your photos, docs, and videos anywhere. This means that any file you save to your Dropbox will automatically save to all your computers, phones and even the Dropbox website."
"Pics4Learning is a safe, free image library for education. Teachers and students can use the copyright-friendly photos and images for classrooms, multimedia projects, web sites, videos, portfolios, or any other project in an educational setting."
Learn how to use Skype on your iOS devices (iPad, iPod touch, etc). Even though Facetime is an easy app to use with iOS, sometimes you want to call someone who isn't on a Mac (or you might just be a Skype user).
" From teaching resources for the nature of science and authentic field journals to wacky videos about numbers, I am sure that you will find something in the following list the works for you!"
Really interesting video on this page regarding what could text books look like digitally - how can we create information that serves to engage students.
