Heres my list of 2011 favorites that have run that gauntlet:

>>>>>>> http://askatechteacher.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/top-13-web-2-0-tools-for-classrooms/

Theyre simple to use and easy to set up. 11.Wolfram Alpha Widget Makerinstantly add live computational knowledge to your blog or website. Create your own or use someone elses. 12.WordPress.combuild and share a blog with students or classes or colleagues. WordPress is the simplest of the many Ive tried, with the most options. 13.Xtranormal (free version)produce short films with virtual characters and a text to speech facility

Here are a few more great ones that I didnt consider in my Top 13 because most educators already know about them:
Edmodoa micro-blogging service (like Twitter) for teachers and students. Use it to share information, set and collect assignments and more.

Glogstercreate media rich online posters that can be embedded into wikis, blogs and more. Google Appsoffer a suite of Google Apps designed especially for educators. Include Google Docs, Google Mail, and Google Sites Khan Academyoffers a library of over 2,700 free videos covering everything from arithmetic to physics, finance, and history and 268 practice exercises, Livebindersorganize your resources in an online three ring binder Prezicreate awesome presentations live and on the web! Voicethreadcollaborate online by sharing media and comments. The perfect tool for whole class projects. Wordlegenerate word clouds quickly.

Should be on the list, but Ive had too many problems either in their set-up or stability of their platform:
MuseumBoxlets you describe an event, person, or historical period by placing items into a virtual, interactive box. Unfortunately, several times, it has been inoperative and thats a nonstarter for a teacher. We plan a lesson. All the parts must work reliably. Only2Clicksa visual collection of website links. Same problem as MuseiumBox. Wallwisherbuild a wall to share ideas, online notices, notes, and more. Same complaint as the first two.
