"AutoCAD for Education Design and shape the world around you with the powerful, connected design tools in AutoCAD software."
This software is free for students and has a three year licence. This would be a great tool for theatre students to download and use to create set and prop designs.
"Twiddla is a free, no-setup, web-based meeting playground. Mark up websites, graphics, and photos, or start brainstorming on a blank canvas. Voice and Text chat too!"
This might be a great way to have students evaluate websites or documents collaboratively.
This is a site that can put interactive links into a online photograph. I am going to have students create their own Thinglink when we begin reading "A House on Mango Street." This will serve as a mini research project. If that goes well, I will probably also use this tool with my theatre classes when the Tony nominations are announced- the students will make a Thinglink that captures the history of the awards and the current nominees. The students will be able to imbed video clips for many of the shows.
This is a neat way to organize links to videos and websites and access them in the Cloud. This can act as a bookmarking tool.
You can create a Symbaloo for your students that houses links for research, tools for formating, and helpful sites for assignments.
This type of site takes the "Google it" mentality out of the equation; you provide the links to where you want to direct students when they engage with the technology. This site could be applicable for any grade level or any discipline.
This is a free resource, but you must create an account.
