What is Wolfram Alpha? It is a supercomputing brain. It provides calculates and provides comprehensive answers to most any science or math question. Unlike other search sources, you and your students can ask questions in plain language or various forms of abbreviated notation. Contrary to popular belief, Wolfram Alpha is not a search engine.

When Storify appeared on the collective journalism screen a few weeks back at TechCrunch Disrupt, it inspired a lot of oohs, ahhs and speculation as to how it would work for journalists. There are similar curation tools out there, like KeepStream and Curated.by, though they focus primarily on collecting tweets (Correction: KeepStream also allows for Facebook integration). Storify, on the other hand, allows a user to organize various media (text, documents, video, images) and social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) into an orderly, linear presentation. The story pieces retain all of their original links and functionality - and the full presentations are embeddable on any site.  It has a very easy-to-use search for social media keywords and works using a drag-and-drop functionality. In other words - it's easy multimedia for even the most technologically challenged journalist.

Actually, I stumbled upon this when I decided to try out Office 2010 beta. I haven't found any official documentation about how to connect to Windows Live SkyDrive with WebDAV (or any API), so I'm not sure how well supported this will be in the future. If you find any word about this from Microsoft, please let me know in the comments. The good news is that it works. The bad news is that it is very slow, but being 25 GB for free I guess you get what you pay for speed-wise (understandably).
