Believe it or not, Facebook and Twitter aren't the only cool social networking sites on the Web. If your kids are too young for Facebook, or you're concerned about privacy, consider looking into some lesser-known social networking sites geared for tweens, preteens, and yes, even teenagers. We've rounded-up some of the top social networking sites that allow kids to keep a tighter rein on their privacy. Our choices include sites that limit the ways you connect with friends, offer greater control over how you interact, or home in on specific interests. Some of the sites for kids on the younger end of the scale offer more parental controls, too, so you can have a better sense of what your kid is doing online.

New site I found on copyright and fair use with regard to media.

Great poll tool. Doodle lets you create a poll to compile responses from those you choose. It also allows you to collaborate with others to schedule an event. If you have a student club and are trying to arrange a date for a club event, this would be a great tool to narrow down a date.

This is a cool site. Would work great for club advisors, class advisors or just for social use within a building. Check out this cool tool. So eacy to use too.

Create an online community of your classroom Share inspiration, ideas, reading, thoughts, Post discussions, deadlines, homework Instantly create surveys for students Keep parents informed of daily projects

This site is so cool. I went in and set up an account and added some people to a class. It was so easy. This will be a terrific site for educators. You can set up your students in a private class account. You can then post questions for them to comment to. You can post items on a calendar, bookmark sites you want them to review, hook up with other classes to collaborate and share, create surveys. I think teachers are going to love it. It is free. When you create your account, the information students need to get to your created class is generated by you and as long as you give them the class code and their password they should be able to get in.
