Here are some of the sites I explored or have heard about from other teachers:
Communication- Voki, Audacity, Voicethread, Remind
The first three sites look like they could be helpful for my future students, as I'll be teaching foreign language and/or ESL. These could be great tools for students to practice speech but might make them feel less self-conscious without other students' eyes on them.
I know a teacher who used Remind in her classroom with great results.
Collaboration- Skype, Dropbox, Join Me, Padlet
Padlet looks like a mini web page and might be a great way for students to collaborate in an organized, forum style post. I've used Join Me with students who have trouble seeing the board. I've used Dropbox professionally, so why not in the classroom? And Skype could be great for practicing speech and conversation.
Creativity- Scratch, Zeemaps
Scratch looks like it could be a lot of fun to use, perhaps students could create animated stories or presentations in a foreign (or second) language
Zeemaps might be useful for exploring other cities around the world, or for students to share their home countries or cities with their classmates.
Organization- Google Drive
I've never gone wrong with Google Drive. It's a relatively bug-free, simple and safe way to save and share students' assignments, as well as help them keep a portfolio throughout their high school career.
