<p>I don't want to single out <strong>one</strong>! I have a whole tool kit!</p>
<p>For me personally - Evernote (though having said for me - I used a shared notebook recently to share some information with students), Diigo for my hundreds of bookmarks and its research tools and WordPress - several blogs to share information with teachers and students.</p>

<p>With students - <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://staffweb2tools.wordpress.com/wikis/">Wikispaces</a></strong> so we can have a space where we all have ownership and can collaborate and Moodle. Moodle for providing information mostly, though the forums have been used a little at school.</p>
<p>As a Mathematics teacher I love all the excellent free resources out there - I'll second Rashmi's earlier recommendation of GeoGebra - there is also a version available with younger students in mind. There are many online resources available for <strong><a href="http://colleenyoung.wordpress.com/tag/geogebra/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">learning about GeoGebra.</a></strong></p>

For me, the hands-down winner has been Prezi.com. Assigning a project there created a learning revolution in my classroom and my students used ten times as much research as I ever would have assigned on my own.

I wrote this article a while ago, but it might be of use explaining what a smartboard is.<br />

Thanks for visiting the blog. You may suggest some ideas on how these web tools can be used effectively with students?<br />
I would be glad if there are some inputs from your side.

Thanks, just checked it out. I'm determined to use G Docs, just have to figure out a way around my predicament! I desperately want to use the spreadsheet and presentation features (I'm a business education/technology teacher) to compare to Excel and Powerpoint.

Just want to ammend comment to add that my district's administration won't upgrade to Safari 3.0, so I'm unable to use Google Documents in my classroom. I'm so bummed about this - I spent so much time planning stuff, but since I travel throughout the district and only one of my schools uses Safari, I wasn't aware of the problem until a day or so ago when I did a trial run at that school. I requested the upgrade with a very detailed description of the reason for the need, but no go. So, I'm…

I'm surprised that more folks haven't listed Classroom2.0 as you did. Perhaps it's a 'given'. Reality and research show that teaching is often done in isolation. I see collaborative (learning-focused) networks as essential to transform education by keeping teachers fresh and alive with new ideas.....it really does take a village (or a country or the world) to do this. Cheers!

GeoGebra is a powerful software . It is very easy to use. A teacher may create instruction sheets on using this software. I have uploaded some lessons on geometry in GeoGebra wiki. The link for reference is <a href="http://www.geogebra.org/en/upload/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=english/rash_kath">http://www.geogebra.org/en/upload/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=english/rash_kath</a><br />
<br />
Try using it and share your experience.
