Weblist by Becky Sandusky
Weblist reminded me of a pathfinder. Teacher and students can curate a topic and place all of their media files onto this Web site. A librarian could use Weblist for a library Web site, or collect information on a topic before the students come and have them work off this main Web site. Librarians could also suggest Weblist for students working on a research paper. Weblist reminded me of LiveBinders because it took students directly to the Web sites.

ToonDoo by Emily Porkorny
ToonDoo is a great kid friendly, easy to use comic maker. Librarians and teachers could have students create their own comic based on a personal narrative story they wrote or have students recreate a scene or plot from their favorite story. This is a very creative Web site that is easy for beginners and also has many options for the more advanced student.
