Online+Planning+Tools

Here are some tools that can be used for collaborative planning.

Online Office Suites that allow you to share and edit documents
===[|Google Docs] -=== Includes all of these tools that can be shared easily with whomever you choose. You need to have an free Google Account - all you need is an email. (My personal preference)
 * word processing
 * spreadsheet
 * forms (great for quizzes and you can embed these in wikis)
 * Google Calendar
 * email
 * and lots of other stuff.

[|Zoho Office] -
Free for personal use

Wikis -
I use both, but I prefer PBWorks.

[|Wikispaces] -
Free for education. No adds on Education sites. This site is on wikispaces.

[|PBWorks] -
Free for basic wiki. (I use this one. The following links are my wiki sites.)
 * [|Twitter and Tweetdeck - For Twitter Freaks and Newbies Alike] - This is basic wiki.
 * [|Mrs. Chi's Classroom Wiki] - This is a Premium Wiki that I got for free by becoming a PBWorks Certified Educator.

Bookmarking Sites -
These are a great places to compile online resources that you might use later.

[|Diigo.com] -
Allows you to not only bookmark pages, but you can add persistent highlighting of text and annotations to a page. You can group links into lists to share with others. Apply for a free educator account, and you can create student accounts so that they can collaborate when researching. This is the site I use the most. FYI- You can set this up so that it links to your Delicious account so that anything you bookmark in Diigo will automatically be added to your Delicious account.

[|Delicious.com]-
The granddaddy of social bookmarking sites. Easy to use but does not have annotation or highlighting features.

[|Curriki.org]
Free teacher created resources for all subjects and grade levels.
