Primary Wall
A teacher creates a "wall" online, give the address to students, and students can go there and put comments - like sticky notes. This seems like it would work well in a lab setting where students could, say, use it in a group research project. Give a topic - and students add facts as they encounter them in research. When they are done, there would be lots of information about any given topic. Its an easy way to collaborate online.
One cool feature is that you can export the sticky note text to wordle - and generate a word cloud from it.
