Diigo is the next generation of social bookmarking. In addition to simply bookmarking the page, you can include a snapshot (screenshot to include in the bookmark view),. You can also highlight information on the web page for inclusion in the bookmark (and also to be noted when someone visits the site from your diigo page. Another neat feature is that you can add sticky notes to the page. Again, these will be viewable by people visiting the page from your bookmark page. There are other features. I suggest visiting the page and taking the 'video tour' as you will love what diigo has to offer!

This page contains tutorials for using Google tools.

Gliffy allows students to draw and share diagrams online. You get all of your basic functionality that you would in an offline diagram application but with a few extra bonuses like working online collaboratively and dynamic publishing of diagrams. Create flow charts, floor plans, technical diagrams, and more.

Great site for converting from one set of units to another

Music that you like to listen to

ToonDoo is a very user friendly web based application that allows you to create cartoon strips and even cartoon books. The site is designed to encourage participants to create new strips, share their work, and discuss cartooning. What a great way to get students involved in the writing / digital story telling process. The Toon Creator is full of backgrounds, character, props, and other useful tools to aid in creating your masterpieces. I would say that the site is certainly appropriate and easy enough to use for elementary students but is entirely appropriate for older students as well. What a find :)

The Flash Card Exchange is a web space where you can create your own flash cards in any language and share them with the Internet Community.

I just went on this website this morning and joined, and now I see your post! Great minds think alike:) Shennen

Ever read one of those top ten lists or photo galleries where every item is on a different page? You spend more time clicking "Next" and waiting than actually reading anything. PageZipper is a free bookmarklet which automatically merges all the "Next" pages into one, so you can skip directly to the stuff you want.
