"Instantly record & publish digital voice recordings" online, using phone, Skype, or mic. Saves and stores audio files in MP3 that you can post to website, blog, Facebook or Twitter, and playback with browser, tablet, or smartphone. Voice comments can be recorded, making it possible to use for language lessons. Great potential. Anyone who has used this with students, please comment!
"With the advance of web 2.0 technologies, there emerged a wide range of educational tools that we can use with our students in and outside the classroom.Collaborative web tools is one example. Using such websites, teachers will be able to help in holding online and real-time discussions with their students, help them in their projects and assignments, guide their learning, do backchanneling, and synchronously moderate discussion threads and many more."
The focus here is on tools for collaboration. Many are new and interesting, such as virtual whiteboards, search team to do online searches together, browse websites together, create online projects collaboratively, create your own chatroom, etc. Some of these will be gone quickly, but they all appear quite useful. About 30 in the list.
