Circly

*Circly recently created some templates that are ideal for education.  For example, the image above shows a template on what student's will be doing when they are finished w/ school. 

Circly is a wonderful new graphic organizers that educators can use to brainstorm, manage tasks, create collaborative group projects, Venn diagrams and more.  Circly, is uses a drag-n-drop interface making it easy to use as well as lets the user change colors of circles to maximize data points.  Finally, the most unique feature of Circly lets users collaborate in real-time w/ built-in video caller lets user work in groups remotely.  This is a great feature for educators looking to do more group

Coggle

Coggle is an interesting new site that uses cutting edge technology to create beautiful looking mind maps, brainstorming, graphic organizers, and more.  Best of all, Coggle is simple to use, allows for group projects for collaborating, and lets users have complete control over diagram (i.e. branches, images, etc.).

Fiskkit

Fiskkit is a new (beta) site for collaborating on news articles/sites that I found out about from Larry Ferlazzo's blog.  All a user has to do is copy/paste a URL into the Fiskkit system and then they can tag, rate, or comment on the information in the article.  This is a great way to facilitate discussion and have student's back up their arguments through comments.

Answer Garden

Answer Garden is an excellent new tool for a person's website. AG is a gadget that can be embedded into a site (similar to a poll) that people can use to answer question that you create. These answers then get displayed in a visual brainstorming/tag cloud view w/ the top choices standing out as more bold and bigger font (think Wordle).

Answer Garden can be used by teachers to get feedback from students, bloggers for self analysis, etc etc.
