Padlet is tool for asynchronous (or synchronous) posting of comments and images on a wall by multiple users.  This tool is much like a discussion board, but it's a bit more visually stimulating and motivating for students, as they get to choose where on the wall they will leave their note (kind of like a sticky note on a bulletin board). This also works great for department-wide discussions. Users do not need a login to post.

This is the most awesome tool!  It allows you to take notes while watching a video AND It syncs to your Google drive.   VERY useful for all those videos we have to watch.

LiveBinders is your 3-ring binder for the web, create an online binder for content curation. Livebinders were created so that anyone, including educators, could do with digital information what we typically do with the papers on our desk -- organize them into nice containers like three-ring binders on a shelf. With these online binders, you can also upload your documents and easily combine them with your links in a neat and organized way. Once you've created your binder by filling it with links, resources, photos or videos, you can share it via email, link it to anything, embed it in a blog or view it in presentation mode With LiveBinders ,you can organize a lesson there, collaborate with a colleague in writing that lesson on a binder, and share it across many spaces. You can even have students work collaboratively on binders. Creating a LiveBinder to support your lesson planning will save you time and become a living document that you can update anytime.

This is a great way to organize all of your resources online. It looks very interesting and you can get good resources from the featured binders that are on the site.

I love live binders. I created one for each of the classes I teach. It is easy to add information, the class notes and handouts, links for extra practice, etc. Students can easily get to it from anywhere.
