Commuication Tools: Google Docs is so commonly used in classrooms that it is a necessary tool for editing.
As for young learners, Storybird Stories is a great way for young learners and beginners to create.
Collaboration Tools: Zoom is a way to connect with groups of people who live all around the world in short meetings. For free!
Creativity tool: Scratch and Audacity as two really great ways to create
Critical Thinking Tool: Kahoot and Quizlet are my two favorites. My daughter uses Quizlet and it helps me keep tabs on how well she is prepared for upcoming tests. Kahoot also has a very user-friendly and good for young learners. Very engaging and fun.
Organizational Tool: Social Bookmarking is a great way to keep track of and organize all the factoids and interesting corners of the internet that you have discovered and want to reference later on. I think the downside for kids is that this can also include inappropriate content and links as well. I find Delicious to be a good one. It is like a Roladex online.
