I tried bubbl.us (the concept mapping) tool because I have used concepts maps to brainstorm writing assingments with students. This worked well and I love that it's accessable to anyone with an Internet connection -- We have a program available at school, but work can't be created as homework when we use it.
Knowtes -- Virtual flashcards was interesting to me, but I wasn't able to get in because the site said I needed to be "invited" to sign-up. I requested an invitation though. Students in my advanced writing course memorize 150 SAT words as part of the course (10 words per week are added to the main list). I would love for students to be able to get online and practice for their weekly vocab quizzes. I'll definitely revisit that site again later. I actually tagged it in Delicious so that I can go back to it later.
I also plan on going back to tryout the Zoho Show presentation site. Why would be bother purchasing Powerpoint on a new computer when these applications are out here and available for FREE online? Just wondering.
