The six top free online tools were selected from available web 2.0 tools for teaching and learning using presentations, blogging, and bookmarking online resources.

Exactly what it sounds like. Plus it was named "Best resource sharing blog" in 2008 by Edublog, so apparently it's pretty cool.

I found this blog under the list of Edublog award winners and thought it was really interesting. It has posts everyday for new ideas for using technology in the classroom. For example, for today there is a post about Gapminder, a type of graphing technology that can be used for lesson plans, quizes, and animations. I also really like this blog because it gives links to each application and then has a whole section on how it can be realistically applied in the classroom.

Unfortunately we won't always have access to BYU's amazing resources. This blog gives ideas for ways to use technology in the classroom free of charge! Woohoo!
