| HALL (hall.com) provides real-time {{tag|collaboration}} one-on-one {{tag|messaging}} and {{tag|video conferencing}} for project teams. It is a business tool to provide an always-open window between people who may work together over the web, via their PC desktop or on their mobiles. School use appears not be excluded from these benefits.

Study Hall provides the means to connect people. | | {{:Tools/Study Hall}} |

| WIKISPACES (wikispaces.com) is a website like {{tag|Wiki}}pedia. Here you can write your own information pages. Unlike say a blog, what is typed can be rewritten by others – and perhaps edited mercilessly. Your choice of topic could be as wide as providing an entire course or you could use it to have a class share their experiences of say, a field trip.

| Google Drive – Google Docs - drive.google.com If you need to {{tag|collaborate}} over some text, a spreadsheet or a presentation, people with a Google account can edit the same document at the same time. One day, probably yesterday, it will be as passé as keeping all your work in the {{tag|cloud}}!

| More than typing, {{tag|word processing}} is a way to improve the quality of writing. Word processing allows pupils to reflect on, and improve finished work.

| Not everyone responds well to a blank screen, hence teachers may create lists of {{tag|questions}} as a {{tag|writing frame}} to drive a writing activity [scaffolding]. One such “template” for science might include hints for writing a lab report. (It might ask for example, what were you trying to find out? Which results are useful? How do your results explain your idea? ’Why do you think that happened?).

| Several of the ICT tools below provide pupils with a wider audience than just the person that marks it. Which means that writing news, a review, a radio script or a campaigning {{tag|blog}} can have a real purpose [authentic task]. Note also that several [[Tools/ICTTools|ICT tools]] permit pupils to {{tag|collaborate}} interestingly over the network.
