Well, I’ve tried a few of the apps on the list and a few more. There are so many possibilities out there, but there are seldom ones that are exactly what I am looking for. I found Webspiration, which provides an interesting option for collaboratively grouping things or creating links between things. If I taught biology I would use it to group organisms into their phyla (sp?) or something.
I took some time to check out Skype, which is cool. I think I am going to keep using iChat instead, but Skype will let me chat with PCs which is cool. I checked out Ta-Da. I started using it for a while, and although it was pretty cool I eventually wanted more. So I found Remember the Milk, which has the nice feature of syncing with my google calendar. I’ve never been good at keeping a continuous to do list, but now it is always live on my calendar. I don’t know if it will actually make a difference, but it might.

Have you thought about using Skype/ichat in your class? I think videoconferencing has such potential as an educational tool – either getting in touch with experts or collaborating with other students/colleges.
