Communication: I have used Voki.com as a talking avatar. Students used it to explain a process or record their voice. Looking at it today I see they have expanded it's use to become more of a presentation tool for teachers and the Voki Teach is new. This provides lessons already connected to the common core that you could use in your classroom.
Collaboration: Today's meet is a nice tool to have students discuss various topics online instead of face to face. This tool is nice for student's who are timid in class. It is also a nice way to provide some background notes during class or a place for student's to ask questions while you are presenting a new topic.
Creativity: I would like to try moovly.com to create an animated movie. I was thinking of providing a topic to students and then they would create a moovly to teach others in the class about that topic.
Critical Thinking: Socrative would be a nice tool to use to assess student's understanding. An online tool makes it more engaging for students and the instant feedback makes it a nice tool for the teacher to know if the students are understanding the material or not.
Organization: Symbaloo is a great way to organize website for younger kiddos. I have used this when I taught elementary technology and I could place a photo or color code the blocks to help kids find the links.
