Web-based Programs

Google Documents
I really enjoyed using Google Documents.  It has a lot of the same capabilities as Microsoft office, however, Google Docs allows the user to store their work on the internet, this makes it always accessible and easy to use.  Google Documents also allows for multiple users to be working on the same document at the same time.  I would highly recommend this program for teachers who need to collaborate together to create supplements and common assessments.

FotoFlexer
I also really enjoyed using FotoFlexer.  I was able to upload photos and make many editing changes the create unique photos.  I was able to make pictures look retro, invert colors, crop, add text, etc etc.  I feel this program has many useful applications in a home setting, however, in a first grade classroom, I am struggling to figure out an assignment that would allow me to use this program as well as benefit the students.  Any suggestions?
