Have been using bubbl for awhile now - it has some really good uses for introduction and revision mind maps. I find it also very useful for creating food chains and webs in Geography and the students really like using their laptops for these type of activities (especially year 7).
Glogster is a cool tool but is really draining on the bandwidth and is often slow to load and refresh, especially when a large class (or a number of classes) are all trying to use it. Can have some excellent uses though in English.
Prezi is definitely the coolest thing to come along for awhile. The students and I love using it and some of the graphical presentation ideas that others put up are a great resource. I often borrow layout and graphical ideas from public prezis - even when the topic has nothing to do with what I am doing, I find ideas from their layout and movement.
