Wikispaces remains a popular tool for students to collaborate in creating web pages.
To set up forums, Chatzy or TodaysMeet allow students to collaborate in real time. Twitter is not only catching on for microblogging, but is one of the fastest growing social networking sites, outpacing Facebook according to some sources. Vocaroo and Voki record voices and other sounds for embedding in \web pagesn and the like. Poll Everywhere is used to gather students' opinions.

I wonder which of these tools are used by students and teachers on a regular basis. For instance, does Weebly get much use, or do teachers have to use approved website tools sponsored by their school systems? Is Voki used much by students? Just curious.
Its great.. I do support the use of computers or websites in class rooms. Because, it helps the students to understand their studies as well as gives general knowledge. Thanks for sharing the information with us.
I am currently looking of a way to post assignments, class information, make up work and possible ways for students to converse about a topic from different classes but same course. I thought of a wiki page. I am not sure if this is the best way to go or if creating a Google Site or Weebly would be better. I want one place students can go to get all the information for the class. Any feedback?
Lot of useful points are there. Its really keeps me updated.
