Free online collaborative tool for one simple objective - mindmapping! Everyone can contribute to one single mindmap, thus allowing for collaborative learning as groups, or as a class. Helps in generating ideas and points for various topics and themes, especially in expository writing.
2. Voicethread
Collaborative tool between pictures, videos and documents where students can comment about what they see in the slide show using voice (oral communication), texts or audio files. Teachers can take up the role of moderators/creators by deciding what comments get published. Some online educators have used it as film to teach text, and to teach vocabulary. Very suitable for visual learners!
3. Visuwords
Wonderful online graphic dictionary which can be added as a search tool into Firefox itself.
A quick search of the word "education" throws up so many different words and relations (if you were to take a look at the accompanying legend) - it shows you things you might have never thought about before! A really good tool for english teachers, budding writers and students.
