Create 2.1.1 Web Tools Quest

Use the internet to research a variety of Web Tools that can be used for student learning or instruction. Then, create three categories and elaborate on the value of the tools referenced. Describe each tool explaining its use, associated cost and how the tool would implemented in a learning environment. Document the items in your blog.

There are a ton of these out there and every time I look for more tools there are new ones. Wish I had more time to explore.
