| RSS Pageflakes | While there are many RSS feed readers available to internet users, Pageflakes has an approachable and attractive interface that teachers will enjoy.

| Voicethread | Teaching on-screen and sharing the visual objects is another potential of the new web.

For an example of using this at the primary level, try the one from Grace Kat's 3rd Grade class in Sydney, Australia.
