I found this website that looks very cool.It is called
Answer Garden You post a question and people have the chance to type in a short 2 or 3 word answer. What a great way to start a conversation with students! You will see the answers appear below you question and if you put your cursor on an answer you will see how many times that was entered. The site has lots of examples, an Answer Garden is very easy to create and embeds easily into your blog or wiki! Give it a try in the example below.

How do you feel about wikis... at AnswerGarden.ch.

Development for Beginners | Kid's Corner | MSDN

What a fun site from Microsoft.  An fun and easy intro to programming for kids (and grownups who want to learn!!)  A great way to introduce kids to one of the STEM areas.  Lots of lessons, links to other resources and videos.  This would be a great addition to teachers and students who are learning Squeak, Scratch or Alice as it adds another dimension to that kind of programming.  There are a host of other resources here for young people and adults who want to explore the world of programming from apps for desktop, phone to Web Applications and databases.

Great blog from David Kapuler highlighting 10 sites for creating digital art.

I have looked at several "free" sources for productivity software for our schools recently. I had looked at Zoho sometime ago but had occasion to revisit it when I saw a blog about Zoho Challenge, an application that allows teachers to create tests online. I created a test (not one you will be able to answer, it is specific to my school) but I wanted to take a "test drive" so to speak. It seems to be very cool and relatively easy to use, and, in my book, the best part is it is free. Yes there are premium features you can pay for but I really love the free stuff!!! Take a look at my very small quiz and then sign up for an account to test it out yourself.
