latershare

latershare is an interesting site for feedback/comments.  The way this works is a person can setup a account and then do a blog post.  Once this is done instead of getting immediate feedback/comments a person can setup a delay and either: have the comments all get collected and then published, or get published at a later date.  This is good when wanting to stop comments from creating bias among other people providing feedback.

Veo Video Converter

Veo Video Converter is a nice site for converting any type of video.  While not originally in English you can switch the language and then select how you want to convert the video and to what type of device you want it for (ie, iOS).

Pollmo

Pollmo is a new (beta) simple site to use for creating a multiple choice poll and them embedding it into your site.  Just type the question, the choices, and then pick a skin, and you're done.

Below is my sample....

Screenleap

Screenleap is a nice site to use for screen sharing that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers.  All a user has to do is click the share screen button, allow the applet, and then share the unique URL w/ the person you want to share your screen with.

For another nice screen sharing site check out join.me.

iPad Insight

iPad Insight is an excellent blog I just found out about from the award winning Free Technology 4 Teachers.  This is a great site to find out about all this iPad related such as: reviews, tips, news, etc.  All reviews are very well written and have lots of screen shots to enjoy.  I'm actually so impressed w/ this blog I'll be subscribing to it right away.

I highly recommend checking out iPad Insight by clicking here!!!

Simple Learning 123

Simple Learning 123 is an iOS app ($.99) that I just found out about through a promotional email.  This is an app that was designed by a teacher that is ideal for PreK students or special needs students who are learning numbers.  Also, this is a good way to learn numbers in French or Spanish as well.

Zopler

Zopler is an interesting site that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers.  This is a nice site for collaborative storytelling that reminds me a bit of Boom Writer.  It is a social network that allows users to create a story from scratch and then either set it public to allow others to collaborate, or set to private to allow people you invite to collaborate.  Once a piece is done it can then be voted on.
