Tools

=Useful Online Tools for Writing, Designing, and Creating=

===These are all Web 2.0 tools that promote interactivity and online creativity. Some also replicate functions that have traditionally been accomplished on the desktop and bring them into the so-called "Cloud". This offers the chance for more collaboration and sharing.===

All of these tools and websites require access to the Internet. Also, many of these tools require recent web browsers with up to date Flash plugins and Java.
I haven't used all these tools, so I cannot comment as to whether or not they are all free for educational use or whether or not they work well with a classroom.
