Blogger.com - Create a unique and beautiful blog. It's easy and free.
Blogger is a useful resource for instructors looking to spread their knowledge or ideas with followers. They benefit from being of the public or private variety, so administrators have strong control over how their materials are being utilized and who has access. It is important to note that teachers only constitute a minuscule percentage of the blogger population as most tend to be of the entertainment, rather than educational, genre.

Diigo is the equivalent to a Google with filtered results handpicked by a professor. The Internet is a gift which has progressed our society tremendously, but it was at the cost of irrelevant and biased sources becoming readily available. Therefore, students will have a pool of approved websites which not only align their knowledge with the desired outcome of the teacher, but they also spend less time researching.

Google Docs - create and edit documents online, for free.
Google Docs is very similar to Microsoft Word, but it has simplified the process for group projects. Rather than having everybody do their portion separately and risk having themes vary, teams may now all work on the same exact file at the same time.

Google Slides - create and edit presentations online, for free.
Google Slides is very similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, but in terms of functionality, it has the same capabilities which have increased Google's Doc's popularity over Microsoft Word. It is important to note that this resource pertains towards slide decks rather than documents.

Symbaloo - Save bookmarks and favorite websites online
Symbaloo is very similar to Diigo, but it is much more aesthetically pleasing as it really plays to one's sense of vision. Therefore, rather than having a bunch of minor summaries emerge, one will be given icons similar to applications used by Apple. Furthermore, they are beneficial in terms of allowing teachers to use preexisting resource sets rather than having them reinvent the process on their own.

Twitter is a form of publicly displayed text messages based on their one hundred and forty character limit per tweet. Regardless, this is a large source of news in today's society based on its functionality as an avenue for alerts and updates.
