Here are my initial ten thoughts, with the first one contributed by my wife, Shelly:

Seesaw is a great free platform for sharing classroom media and learning with students, parents and student mentors.
Tweet Nest is a great free PHP program for creating a searchable archive of tweets, which can function as a “information trap.” (Mine is installed at twitter.wesfryer.com)
EdCamps are wonderful, free opportunities for educators to share ideas and collaborate.
Flipboard is a powerful and free digital magazine, which converts Twitter lists into a visually browsable, media-rich newspaper.
Flickr is a flexible and free platform for finding and sharing digital photos.
Opinion is a terrific, free iOS app for creating, editing and sharing digital radio shows (podcasts) on the go. (Shelly has a great classroom podcast powered with Opinion!)
YouTube is a free, device agnostic platform for sharing an unlimited quantity of high definition videos with a global audience.
The YouVersion Bible is a free mobile app including lots of a bible translations in many languages.
WordPress is a free, open source website content management and digital publishing platform which powers over 30 different websites I maintain.
YouTube Capture is a free iOS app which significantly streamlines the workflow of editing and publishing video collages to YouTube.
