This wiki for teachers at
indispensibletools.pbworks.com is a good list of Information and
communication technologies in education. (That's
"ICT" to many people outside the
USA.)
The list was crowd sourced from individual educators who were asked what tools they found
indispensable.
Though not an exhaustive list, the wiki has a lot of possibilities. You can add a tool to the
wiki by giving the product name (alphabetical order); How used; "Free" (if it is free, most are) and by adding
your name in alphabetical order to the contributors list at the bottom of the page.
Here's a sample from the
