I am sure many of you already know about Tokbox, it is like Skype, but on steroids.  It is a great tool for collaboration if you are not in the same building, town, country etc.  Check it out.

TokBox - Free Video Chat and Video Messaging

I have just added a new resource to the resources page, the new resource is called Aviary.  You can check what I had to say here.

I have added two new resources to the list on the resources page of free utilities for teachers.  The list is now 83 tools long and growing, check them out.

I have found a new resource on the Internet, whilst not entirely free, the free option is very good.  I am talking about Widgetbox.  The two widgets at the side of the page here were created using Widgetbox.  There are four variants of widget that you can create and over time I will be experimenting with them all.  They are highly customisable and not only that, once you have shared it with the community you can then embed your widget into your chosen site.  The great thing is that the community has thousands of already created widgets for you to use.  All good stuff.

If you want to turn off the ads and remove the ‘add widget’ option then for a reasonable annual fee in US$ you can.  I may well explore that possibility over the coming days and weeks.  Great tool though.
