Here, we bring you 20 indispensable web apps, which once you've tried, you'll never want to live without again. Most of the apps explored below are free, so there's nothing stopping you from giving them a go.
What follows is a proposal I submitted to my headteacher regarding a trial of the use of Google Docs (as part of the Education Apps) to deliver online reporting to the parents in my class.
Currently there are close to 30 different presentations exploring Interesting Ways to use a whole variety of different types of technology in the classroom.
Love this!

What is cool about webdoc is that you can so easily embed or drag and drop all sorts of content / media right onto the page and it is also designed for discussion / conversation that can have media included as well.
Here are some ways I can envision using it in education:
Students create passion profiles.
Students create "What's Your Genius" profiles of one another and use the discussion to build upon it.
Forget textbooks. Create webdocs.
Each teacher can have Webdoc that outlines who she is.
Classes can make webdocs to celebrate the completion of a unit of study.
Schools can use webdocs to organize events. Imagine this webdoc from @jmarkeyAP was a school event.
Webdocs as a student learning portfolio.
Wetoku is a web service or web 2.0 tool out of Korea that does one thing very well…it provides a simple platform for interviewing someone via the Internet. Collaborating globally is a must for our students and as result interviewing can be a challenge. Wetoku makes doing an interview as easy as filling out some basic information, creating an interview session and then sending the creative interview session's URL to the interviewee.
Very Cool!
