This also works great for department-wide discussions. Users do not need a login to post.

Free course that walks you through various methods of making inforgraphics for your classroom that can be embedded into a wiiki, blog, webpage, and more.  Also, a multitude of other free 'courses' to learn more technology. 

This is an awesome resource that puts many of the technology pieces we are learning about in these courses all in one place. There are some other pieces that I have heard about and completely forgotten. These can be used in the classroom to aide tecahers and incorporate new technology in the lessons.
