Flickr


Flickr is a free website where one can post pictures personally taken or even look up photos that others have taken. The photos may be shared and commented on by people who are approved.
This kind of a website would be great for schoolwork involving research photos since one can access the photos that others have posted up.

Delicious


Delicious.com is a website that keeps track of one's bookmarks, therefore, making it convenient when it comes to accessing personal bookmarks on other computers. It free, and privacy settings are available. Also, this website is very easy to use even on a Macintosh. This website would be useful for schoolwork (especially research projects), since one can access useful sources by using this website. Because this site is easy to use, and is also very convenient, I believe that it is a great way to make the life of a student easier.

Prezi


Prezi is a free site where you can make different kinds of powerpoints at any location that has internet connection. One can use each account until the memory limit has been exceeded. Prezi does not use pages. Instead, it has an infinite area for slides. This kind of a website would be great for classes that use power points such as language arts and foreign language classes. The tools used in the website is very easy to understand; however, the amount of times it freezes makes creating a Prezi time consuming and sometimes frustrating. This Prezi product might look good, but Prezi's slow speed makes it a very inefficient way to do schoolwork.
