Popplet is a new web app that is like Wallwisher on steroids. You can make an online "bulletin-board" with virtual "post-its" (called "popplets), just like in Wallwisher. And, except for the fact you have to register to use it, Popplet is just as easy and, in some ways, easier to use with a lot more functionality. With Popplet, you search for images and videos on the Web directly within the "popplet" instead of copying and pasting the url address (as you need to do in Wallwisher). You can draw within the "popplet" and it doesn't appear to have an limit on the number of characters you can use. You can connect the "popplets." You can also embed the whole thing.

Definitely looking further into this one!

Are you searching for a way to share documents, presentations, slideshows, or a series of photos or images with your students?

This is the heart of Teachit Primary - an ever-growing collection of practical, tried and tested lesson plans and resources created by teachers for teachers. Access to the vast majority of them is free once you have registered - you can browse, search, download and print resources whenever you like. But it's only as a member that you get to use them properly - because then you can tweak, adapt, edit and get whizzy. Never again will you need to reinvent the wheel.

It works like this. You first copy the web address of any news article that is behind the registration firewall and paste that URL into the Google Search box. Now click the first Google result and you'll be able to read the full text of the corresponding story without registering or subscribing. Nice
