An organizing tool “facebook for school” It can help students and teachers organize

work for class. Students and teachers can create tasks,

Diigo www.diigo.com

This tool allows you to bookmark all the websites you want students to go onto.

It allows you to restrict students from browsing all over the internet. They click on your bookmarks and it opens onto the same page. It then allows them to expand it.

If you want to provide additional assistance to what they are reading you can put sticky notes or highlight what you want them to concentrate on.

Diigo

WIKI http://pbworks.com/

Students must have an email address to use stixy. The echalk accounts they used last year did not work. They had to have their own like google, yahoo, hotmail…etc.
