twiducate is the perfect solution for elementary and secondary students. Rather than having your students sign up and enter an email address, you sign up and create a class code.

As I expand my social media life, I see TweetDeck as the logical tool to manage my Twitter feeds, whether to following a particular user or a subject. For now, I see this more as a teacher tool than student tool being able to follow classroom feeds, hashtags, and multiple Twitter accounts. It would be much more useful on a computer with a large monitor, but it certainly beats having an extra browser tabs open. I could see students perhaps using this application to follow their classroom feeds, but likely with limited use. I have not seen this type of application before. I was hooked on it right away.
Thanks for sharing!
Wideo templates provide a basic framework for a video's theme. A couple of the templates that might be of interest to teachers are the slideshow template and the curriculum template. A demonstration of the curriculum template is embedded below.
ideo is a neat video creation service that I've shared a few times sin
A blog by a teacher with a trove of free tech resources for educators to use in their classrooms. Some are already well known, but a few interesting, obscure ones as well for custom applications in your classroom.

Allows a teacher to create a private discussion board. The teacher post a topic and students can then reply to the topic. Great for a simple discussion board.
This is a type of presentation service that would be great for digital story telling. It is more exciting than your traditional powerpoint and provides a more visual way for students to present ideas.
Prezi is an excellent presentation tool for both students AND teachers. Many other storytelling aids exist (and there's always PowerPoint), but all the ones I've seen are simply copycats of Prezi. Hand's down, Prezi is the gold standard in Web 2.0 presentationmaking.
