This type of learning tool would be great for any classroom K-12. On this website, you can create your own teaching videos for the students to watch and there is a grade book on the page so you are able to grade the students on the computer. This would be something interesting to do for extra credit; make students watch a video and then quiz them over what they watched for either extra credit or homework.

Enter the group is an interesting tool that I found that would be a great communication tool. On this web page, you are able to set up meetings between teachers and teachers or students and teachers to discuss different topics. There is a calendar on the page where teachers can go in and put down dates of important things such as field trips or tests or anything else that might be important to the student. This would be helpful because it gives students and teachers a chance to communicate and keep up with each other for school purposes outside of the classroom.

Chogger would be a fun thing to do in your classroom. Chogger allows students to go in and create their own comic strip from scratch. This would be a fun writing activity for the students because they do get bored easily and it would be interesting to see all the exciting comic strips they come up with. This activity allows student to be creative in their writing and have fun doing it.

Web note is a great thing to be on for upper middle school and high school students who have to take a lot of notes. This website allows you to go in and take notes for a class and then you are able to share it with other people. It makes it easy to take notes, and it would be really good if someone missed class that day, they could just go in and find the notes that someone shared.

Time Toast allows you to create a timeline and upload photos and share it with others. I think this would be helpful in a history class when you are trying to remember what happened at what time. You could get your students to create a timeline of some event that happened as a homework grade. This would also be a great "study" tool for them remembering dates for tests.

Kubbu is a study tool. On this website you are able to create games such as crossword puzzles to help study for tests or quizzes. You as a teacher could make the crossword puzzle and have the students fill it out and submit it for a grade, or just keep it and use that to study. You could also make little quizzes everyday for your students, have them long on and take them, then that's what they could use to study.
slideshare.net
Slide Share allows you to make slide show presentations and share them with other people. This would be useful in a classroom because it would allow students to make a power point and before they present it, they could share it with the class so the class could follow along with them. It tends to get a little boring just staring at someone giving a presentation, but if they had something to look it, right in front of them, in their own hands, it might make it a little more interesting.
storybird.com
For another creative writing tool, use story bird. This is a neat way for children to go online and let them write a story about anything they want to. Your whole classroom could log onto this and create your own classroom library, how neat! Every student could enter their story at any time, and then everyone could read each others stories.

Kid blog would be a creative writing activity also. Since you as a teacher have complete control over this web page you can go in, give your students a topic, then have them write about that topic. An easy homework grade! Some days you don't even have to give them a topic, just go in and tell them to free write. Free writing makes the best writers in my opinion and allows them to be creative and use their writing skills.

Chartle is a good tool to use for your math class. You are allowed to create all kinds of maps and charts that you use everyday in your lower level math classes. You are able to create your own charts and diagrams which you can print off and have a math lesson with your students. And if you don't want to print it off, then you can always just show it on the computer.
