Here are some new tech tips from the Smackdown session. The "Smackdown" is an open mic type event. Each participant gets only 2 minutes to share their favorite tech tips. I love this because I found a few new things:
Evernote Hello

Cybraryman recommended this for sharing during Skype sessions. He creates books and shares them with classrooms he skypes with.

This is a visual bookmarking site. I like this one to use with my first graders. I have a reading one and a math one. I set them as the homepage for easy navigation.

An app that turns your social media into a magazine format! My favorite app. Works with Google Reader, Facebook and Twitter as well as the news.
