Cool Tools

I've been working on a presentation of "cool tools" for my staff during pre-service week. I want to show them tools that will be easy to incorporate and infuse technology into their lessons or projects that will engage students. I picked a few of my favorites that they can easily be incorporated through the Promethean boards and mobile labs.
