Talkzilla

Talkzilla is an interesting free iOS app for making international calls.  This app/service allows for very low rate international calls while interacting w/ an animated avatar.  As a person uses the app they can earn rewards/cookies that levels up their avatar to unlock special "bonuses".  The aspect of an avatar makes this a fun app for the younger audience as well for students abroad who are looking for something other then Skype or Google Hangouts.

United Classrooms

United Classrooms is a wonderful site that I juts found out about from Richard Byrne's excellent blog.  This is a very ambitious site that allows teachers to create a class profile page.  These profiles can contain, lessons, assignments, notes, messages, and more.  These profile pages can then be shared w/ others such as parents or even classrooms around the world.  A teacher has the ability to monitor anything on their board which is ideal for education.  Another great feature is the ability for students from other classes to post on boards to collaborate w/ others.
