Drawing, Charting, Cartooning, Mapping Tools and a Ton of Other Web 2.0 Tools ;-)
Once again, here's a list of some Web 2.0 tools which were created primarily for the "home market"! Imagine the possibilities!!! In my humble opinion, many Web 2.0 tools have tremendous potential in learning environments, too much so for educators to ignore them! Let's co-opt some of these exciting tools! We are only limited by our creativity and imagination!

All these tools are **free** and offer easy-to-use features. Most require a sign-up process. At least one requires you to download and install software.
