Top 100 Sites of 2011, by David Kapuler
Re: http://www.techlearning.com/article/top-100-sites-of-2011/52117
The time is finally here for my annual list of favorite sites of the year. This year I decided to up my post to the top 100 instead of 25 because of the number of sites that I reviewed and the popularity of the post. I tried to cover a wide range of sites, from flash-card creators to digital storytelling, and of course social networks, which really stood out in 2011. I hope everybody enjoys the list and has as much fun reading it as I did creating it.
1. Conduit Mobile: Without a doubt the coolest, most innovative site i came across this year. ideal for bloggers, Web designers, and schools in one-to-one environments looking to create a great-looking mobile app free (could be a great way to share news or homework in a mobile environment).

2. Gnowledge:One of the best collaborative quiz/test-creation sites around. this excellentlooking site should be a mainstay for years to come.
3. Google+: A great social network and alternative to Facebook. It really shines with its control and visually stunning video-chat (hangouts) features.
4. WatchKnow: An excellent place to find free educational videos for students. An easy site to navigate, as everything is categorized by subject and rated for ageappropriate levels.
5. muvee Cloud: A redesign of the popular video/presentation site shwup. easy to use, has a nice, polished look, and is great for creating projects with photos and videos. Best of all, muvee Cloud is free to educators and students.
6. StudyBlue: A great site for making flash cards and notes. Also, because of its newly designed mobile app, it makes studying a treat because you can study anywhere, anytime.
7. YouTube Teachers: A wonderful site designed to help teachers use educational videos in the classroom.
8. PrimaryWall: A site similar to Wallwisher, designed and built for schools. A paid account filters the “walls” (interactive bulletin boards), which are easy to create. Also, there are lots of free educational resources to use for lesson plans and ideas.
9. Skype in the classroom: Designed for education, this site brings together teachers, projects, and resources from around the world. It is also a free site intended for videoconferencing and global learning.
10. TXTNLRN: An innovative site that teaches through text messaging. Even enrollment is done via a text message. it’s great for those wanting to learn at their own pace and try something new.
