1. Communication - it seems like a lot of these have to be paid for so possibly why school districts aren't widely using them. I love the idea of using Voki and nearpod to really grab kids' attention. There are a lot of already created lessons that can be customized too. However, they require a user license after the free trial. I substitute and actually have never seen any of these sites being used. I will be able to suggest things to teachers if they are open to it though after seeing the dozens of sites available. Toondoo seems free and a good one for upper elementary.
2. Collaboration - I personally use dropbox to be able to access files from different devices. I can see how it would be useful for a teachers' tool also. And also Diijo and Lino seem like fun apps to share ideas.
3. Creativity - one that stood out for me was bighugelabs. There are a lot of options to present information like making a trading card, make your own poster, magazine cover, etc. Definitely one to mix it up in the classroom.
4. Critical Thinking - Scratch seems like an awesome tool for kids to code and create. Also appears to be completely free.
5. Organization - TeacherTube is a popular one. I am sure it is used often in the classroom as they are educational videos. There are lots of ways to organize what you want to see and be able to pull it up easily.
