Pearson web-site based on their textbooks (both HS and College) with awesome tutorials, simulations, HW assignments/quizzes generation. Includes customized and randomized assignments/tests and great statistics on what students did: how many attempts, all of their correct and incorrect responses, etc.

This is another bookmarking site that is very rich in features. It allows you to tag bookmarks (like attaching a category) and search their entire database of bookmarks (from other users) by tag and by userid (if you know it). You can have bookmarks with multiple tags also.
Easy to generate lab report rubric.
Number on Rubistar is 2074816
For surveys, I really really like Google Forms. You can easily create a survey, and the results are embedded in an online (shareable, Google) spreadsheet. If you use Google Sites, this is really great, because you can embed the survey directly in the google site. You can see how we used Google Sites at http://boulderareastem.org
Has anyone used DimDim for meetings, or have other recommendations for web meetings? I've liked using Elluminate, but that costs $$. Evo (out of Caltech) is OK, but video only (no screen sharing).
khanacademy.org
Over 8,000 10 minute or so videos listed by individual topic in the areas of science, math, finance, computer science and history.
In a structured educational setting with good teachers these don't, and never will, replace the instructor. Rather, they free the teacher to focus classroom time on understanding and application of concepts after students view individual topics for homework.
Some of my favorite resources are:
www.evernote.com - a notetaking resource that can sync between your computer and mobile device, as well as share between individuals.
www.coursesmart.com - a site for electronic versions of textbooks. I use this for reviewing texts and to have the texts I am using in my class on my mobile device. It also allows students to "buy/rent" an eText with the ability to bookmark, highlight, and annotate.
www.dropbox.com - a very useful site for sharing documents between people. Great for collaborating. More like a shared repository, rather than "real-time" collaborative editing.
