Skype
[|Skype] is a free download for all computer platforms that allows you to talk to other Skype users through either text chat, audio chat or video chat for free. It is a useful tool for communicating with collaborative partners. Below is a video of a primary class using Skype to communicate with an overseas class from [|Allanah King's blog]. media type="custom" key="4016945"

**Wikis**
[|Wikispaces] and [|PBWorks] are both places where you can sign up for a free wiki. A wiki is an online website where you can have pages of content and link to resources. This site is a wiki.

Voicethread
[|Voicethread] is an online tool where an image or video is uploaded as a slide to the Voicethread and then comments about that content can be left around the outside of the slide. It can be used to collect perspectives of students involved in collaboartive projects. It is also a great reflection tool as in the example below media type="custom" key="4016951"

[|Zoho Creator]
This great tool allows you to easily create an embeddable form which feeds into an online database that you can download into Excel or as PDFs. I have used it to create submission forms for workshops for our ICT Expos. I have also used it to make online booking forms for teachers to let me know what they would like to work on in my sessions with them.

To use, you will need an account with [|Zoho] (which will also give you access to their other tools such as an online word processor and online slide presentations). Here is a form that I made for you to tell me a little something about yourselves :-) I have also embedded the results below the form. There are videos and presentations about Zoho on the tutorials page. media type="custom" key="4028695" media type="custom" key="4028787"
