1. [|Scribblemaps] is an easier kind of version of Google maps which I think has lots of applications, especially since you don’t meed to have either an online account or Google Earth software installed to do it.

2. [|Librivox] community book reading project website, trying to get all the public domain books read by volunteers. Some good stuff there in many languages or why not volunteer or get your students and school community involved?

3. [|Issuu] for easy DIY student and teacher publishing and also looking at the range of resources available in English and host of other languages.

4. [|Flickr CC]image auto attribution. Did you know there is a method to automatically add image attribution to a Flickr CC image? There is a lot of information about The Creative Commons movement on our Copyright and fair fair use page here. Find out more about [|Flickr Creative Commons Licensed images here]and [|Flickr 'The Commons ' images here].

5. [|Tagxedo] for interesting tag cloud making(requires Microsoft Silverlight is installed)

6. Use [|Tweetgrid] or [|Twitterfall] to follow twitterstream for a research or conference topic (#topic) without the need for an account.
