  4. wordle.net is a great site for writing. I have my students copy and paste writing documents into wordle and it gives a very visual fluency check. The larger a word appears, the more it was used in the document. Kids are astonished when they can see the word "and" as a life-size word. :)

  6. http://www.overstream.net/index.php
    Overstream allows you to add subtitles to online video. Good for second language learners or hearing impaired if you have an online video you are sharing.

    Want a site similar to Facebook for students? Try www.edmodo.com - looks and acts like Facebook, but is teacher-controlled!

  10. http://www.paperrater.com/
    a free service designed to help students improve their writing. Paper Rater does basic spelling and grammar checks, but the real value of Paper Rater is that it tells students if their papers have elements of plagiarism.

  14. If you want to save a youtube video, copy & paste the URL, then paste it into keepvid.com. Click download, and save it as high-quality mp4. If you need to convert this for use in a program like Windows MovieMaker, you can use http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php and it will convert it to almost any format, then email it to you as a link. I use these a LOT. :)
