Wordle is really fun! I think that my students could find a lot of creative use for it - especially with a piece of literature we are reading. They could pull descriptive words for a character, quotes, all kinds of stuff. It would make it more interactive for the kids to do something like this online.

Glogster - equally as fun to play around with.
Again, this would work very well for a piece of literature - maybe it could be our project for the summer reading activity! I would guess that students could be a lot more creative using this in lieu of a posterboard. The possibilities are absolutely endless as is the creativity. Many students feel inadequate when we ask them to draw something because they are not good artists - this puts everyone on equal turf. As far as the thinking being different, I feel that it would open the door for more opportunity to think outside of the box.
I came across this one and thought it was pretty neat:

Voki - way entertaining - a little weird though! I played around with the applications and did the Trek Yourself. I think that if someone received this through email it would definitely send a different message than text alone.

Bookr - this is by far my personal favorite! What a neat way to store photos and tell a story - I have tried keeping up with my kids scrapbooks, but this would be so much easier. I'm not sure how I would use it in the classroom, unless I had the kids narrate a story. Maybe after writing their personal narrative, they could use pictures to narrate it. That would be kind of interesting, but I'm not real sure - I'd love to get other people's ideas on how to use it in a high school English classroom.
