Bookmark all your favorite sites and categorize them as you like—search others bookmarks via tags, read RSS feeds of various tags to get most updated sites people are bookmarking, share your bookmarks with others.  See my  version here.

Flickr

Flickr is a great site for posting, sharing, and tagging your photos. The free version is limited in uploading, but if you pay $25 a year, you get unlimited space and upload bandwidth. Cool. You can see an example of mine here.

Tool Categories:Art/Design/Photos

Audience: Educators/Librarians/Students

How It Works: Upload your photos, artwork, or images to the site. Then organize into sets, slideshows, and add individualized tags to your photos so you can find them easily later on.

Uses: Use as a presentation tool (slideshows), to present classwork/art/photos, to share photos of an event, create an ongoing photo essay, documentary, etc.

Why Use It? Can restrict access to only certain users.
