Web 2.0 tools and online utilities have become more full-featured and useful over the years. 

Here are some links to various online tools to help both teaching and learning. The online tools all work with laptops and Chromebooks unless stated otherwise. The ones that have Chrome apps available have a link to the Chrome Web Store link. 

If you find a link that is not working, please let me know the title and I will fix it.
