If you've never seen the TeachersPayTeachers website, it's past time to check it out! The rule is that you have to upload one resource that others can have for free before you're allowed to sell anything...this provides LOADS of free resources for everyone!

This tool could be used by students, teachers and staff for all kinds of things. It has a VERY simple drag-and-drop interface, and the "flyers" that get created are beautiful!

This is just a webpage that allows you to write or draw on screen. SO simple...the only "choices" are pencil shape and color, so kids won't spend all their time on design instead of content.

Free accounts for you and your students to create websites. Weebly is VERY user-friendly and easy to use!

Students can create their own computer games!

This is just a really cool way to collaborate, and forever FREE.

You can close the conference when you're done, and a PDF file of everything you did will be saved to your account. Student/student, teacher/student, and even teacher/teacher collaboration!

Simply choose a photo, upload it, apply one of MANY filters, and click to save! It's incredibly easy, and cool, and best of all for the kids: there is NO PASSWORD to remember!

Upload your documents and get feedback! There are a million ways to upload files, but with this tool, others can look at your images, Word or PowerPoint documents--from any computer OR mobile device--and provide a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on each screen/page/slide. I'm thinking of the possibilities for the "Evaluating" level of Bloom's...
