Yodio offers an integrated, one-stop digital publishing service where anyone can go to self-record, produce, and share audio recordings (podcasts) and personal broadcasts (audio synchronized with digital photos).
Using Yodio's free production system, most anyone can combine digital photos with their recorded audio to create rich media presentations. What is a rich-media presentation? Think voice narrated power point presentations or photo albums. Now think of them being shared in a player similar to YouTube, so they can be streamed throughout the internet or the player can be embedded in other websites, blogs, etc. This is personal broadcast with the sharing part operating on steroids! You can link, e-mail, embed, and in many cases download as an MP3 file. It's made to share memories and photos that are made more interesting and informative by adding your own voice.
I like PhotoPeach and have used it for some of the slideshows I have posted on my school website. There is a limit to the photos you can post on the free site. Thanks for sharing.
An easy way to make crosswords. Students can make them here. No account required. You can embed in a wiki, you can email, print and you can fill out the crosswords online.
Embedr is a free service that lets anyone create a custom playlist of videos from the top video sites on the web. I'm told that this will play the videos even if youtube is blocked - BUT DON'T TELL ANYONE!!! :)

Create, publish and share ebooks. You can even embed them! I wonder if this would be a fun way to share stories that your students have written. They can help to design the pages, as well.

Noteflight® is an online application that lets you display, edit, print and play back music notation with professional quality, right in your web browser. You can work on a musical score from any computer on the Internet, share it with other users, and embed it in your own pages. And it's free for individual use. Was shared at edubloggercon this year.
Upload files and have them turned into flash - to embed onto your pages. Great for kids works, too. If you thought Myebook was interesting, this is another variation

Free documentaries - many from sources like National Geographic. You can 'snag' the video and embed it in another site or a blog. This would be an advantage to engaging students outside the classroom.
