Discovery Educator Network
Global community of educators passionate about teaching with digital media.
SchooNoodle
FREE online social bookmarking community made exclusively for K-12 educators.
OER Commons
The worldwide OER movement is rooted in the idea that equitable access to high-quality education is a global imperative.
Open Educational Resources are teaching and learning materials that you may freely use and reuse, without charge. OER often have a Creative Commons or GNU license that state specifically how the material may be used, reused, adapted, and shared.
As a network for teaching and learning materials, the web site offers engagement with resources in the form of social bookmarking, tagging, rating, and reviewing. OER Commons has forged alliances with over 120 major content partners to provide a single point of access through which educators and learners can search across collections to access over 24,000 items, find and provide descriptive information about each resource, and retrieve the ones they need. By being "open," these resources are publicly available for all to use, and principally through Creative Commons licensing, many thousands are legally available for repurposing, modifying and improving.
Twemes.com
Twitter memes. Global tags for Twitter.
Twemes.com follows Twitter.com tweets (messages) that have embedded tags that start with a # character. These are sometimes called hashtags but we like to use the term twemes.
Through the use of twemes, we can all view what people are talking about across the whole Twitter universe. In some sense, this can be thought of as an adhoc chatroom. We also pull in recent public photos from Flickr and public bookmarks from Del.icio.us.
Twemes.com is particularly useful for keeping up on the real-time activities associated with a live event such as a conference.
Tumblr
Tumblr is an easy tool for publish your own blog. Effortlessly share text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos from your computer or phone.
Today's Meet
Today's Meet gives you an isolated room where you can see only what you need to see, and your audience doesn't need to learn any new tools like hash tags to keep everything together.
A List of Possible Classroom Social Networks
These are web applications that let you create private (or public, though for educational uses I’m primarily interested in ones that allow you to create “walled gardens”) networks to share blog posts, images, videos, websites, and chatboard conversations.
Twitblogs
Sometimes 140 characters is just not enough to say or show what you really want to say
