Exploration of Shared Resources

Great Symbaloos of organized resources!
Communicate - Todays Meet. Easy to use, free, and no account needed. Limited to 140 characters which demands succinctness on the part of writers. I would use during professional development as a way educators could share comments, connections to own class, and questions.
Collaboration - Padlet. Virtual Bulletin Board with awesome updates. I love how you can connect notes together and leave comments. I would use with Second Chance Reading Teachers as a way to share high-interest, low-level texts for MS/HS students. Then organize them according to genre!
Creativity - BigHugeLabs - So many options for creating digital content. I like the "Motivator" and would use this with Writing Workshop teachers as a way to share 6 word memoirs!
Critical Thinking - bubbl.us - this collaborative mind map or graphic organizer would be perfect to share with staff as they consider how to support kids in organization and connecting and anchoring new learning!
Organization - YouTube - YouTube is great for organizing videos that you create and watch in the form of playlists. I would have educators create playlists for the classes they teach, along with tutorials that accompany their focus!

Thanks for the great information.  The one on here that I need to explore it BigHugeLabs.  I have not seen this one before so it is new to me.  Also you suggested Recap to me last spring and this has been a great thing to try out with students.  I think that Recap would fit into communication but also critical thinking.

Today's meet is a good way to foster quick discussions in class, too.  I do like the character limit as it makes students get to the point, although it can lead to some "easy" responses like "I agree" and "yes."

Padlet is something that I want to use more, as I have been engaged with it several times during staff professional development sessions, but I have never used it with my students. I would like to use it to have them jigsaw articles or respond to reading books. It is easy for me to go back to paper pencil, but I really need to branch out, and this seems like a good resource.
