Scottle - Have been aware of scottle since someone from a PEEL group introduced it to me a few years back (on a side note what happened to PEEL? Died a very quiet death it seems). Anyway it is a useful resource with some good activities for students particularly the learning objects - there is an excellent photo-story type one on the great depression which worked really well with year 9. I have found it hard to navigate from time to time though (think it could be more streamline).
Social networking sites - I must admit I am becoming a very reluctant convert to twitter. I always thought twitter to be the most useless part of facebook given its own pathetic life. However I am now starting to see that the very small number of people who use it in a purely educational function are equipped with a great sharing resource. Especially when you begin to follow enough of these people you get exposed to a wealth of info that you may never have come across.
