Task 10: Find New Cool Tool

I looked at the 10 cool tools posted and was not interested in any of them. I e-mailed my dad the LetterPop b/c he in charge of his church newsletter. I didn't see anything exciting on http://www.seomoz.org/web2.0#cat_117. There were DOZENS and DOZENS and DOZENS of choices on http://www.go2web20.net/. I finally had to go to the webcloud of tags to narrow it down. I only found 1 I liked, but it was for my personal artwork: http://myfolio.com/edit_portfolio.php

As far as cool tools I found elsewhere on my own, that would be http://classtools.net/. There are 2 cool things there; random name picker http://classtools.net/main_area/template_loader.php?fruit_machine where you can put all the students' names in, and a candy machine randomly picks the name. Or use it as a random vocab or question picker for students to answer or translate. The other cool tool on the site is "post it" http://classtools.net/main_area/template_loader.php?postIt where you can upload an image and give up to 10 post its to label it. The downfall of this is that you may only use 10 post its. I'd like to do Western Europe Geo, but w/ only 10 labels, it's not worth it.
