Some new harvests

The past 2 days I have been at a workshop titled "Integrating Technology in the 3-8 Classroom." Very hands-on and the instructor uses the technology in real classroom uses. For example, he showed how to use Google Earth to show the various forms of water found on Earth like oceans, lakes, and rivers. He set up placemarks at each of the examples and had definitions of each in the placemarks. Nothing earth shattering, but very usable and realistic.
In addition to his example lessons he shared some "new" tools.
One is Jott, Here you set up an account and then you call into Jott with you phone. What you say is recorded and then you get an email with a text copy of what you said. I believe that you have 45 seconds.
Others are bubble.us, mindmeister, rubistar, visualbody.
