Discovery Education provides a list of various web tools.
Presentation
Prezi: Free; Prezi is way more fun than PowerPoint because it is easier to share a Prezi presentation when you click on export after creating a presentation. The presentation moves across the screen making it more interesting to look at. The templates more creative than what PowerPoint has to offer. Also, Prezi can be enlarged to take up the entire screen.
Video
Animoto: Free Trial and $9.99/month; Create an animated video to present the material.
PowToon: Free; Create an animated video or slide show using templates. Quick and easy to use.
Voki: Free; Use an avatar to record a message or use the text to voice option if you are too shy to use your own voice.
Phone
Polleverywhere: Free Trial and $19/month; Can text a review question to the students for a cost.
Community
Edmodo: Free; A social media like setting for teachers, students, and parents to collaborate on assignments and discover more resources on the subject.
Combination
Classblogmeister: Free; A site for students to write essays, personal opinions, reactions to a current event, etc., in a blog setting. Students can read what others have posted and reflect on the other person's viewpoint.
I obviously have a favorite tool, Prezi, because I wrote the longest description for it. :)
