I am finally posting my "finds" in the right place !
I have found the following Online Interactive Tools

Strategy: communication/collaboration serves: F2F/DE
Link: http://www.khanacademy.org/

What does the site do? Originally it was developed to teach math but has since expanded to cover any and every subject the owner has time to and is willing to cover.
How will it benefit students? It is a great study guide for many subjects. It is very clear and describes things thoroughly. I think that this is great site for Math, Humanities, studying SAT/MATH, GMAT, videos. It enhances the learning process. This app provides the same information from a different perspective and sometimes that is extremely helpful when learning new material. I plan on using this app to assist outside the class room for concepts not easily understood in class. There are so many videos in this sight, that the student can play the video all day long.
My son uses the site for Physics, SAT, English and so many other subjects.

The site requires an invitation to join and I am not sure what it would take to get one. You can still view the site without joining though.
What does the site do? The site lets you bookmarks images and based on the tags the images have it will suggest others that you might like. You can only use to bookmark feature if you join, though.
How will it benefit students? Exposing them to a lot of new and creative images often promotes creativity.
How will it benefit the instructor? Anyone can use it really. So you can benefit from it the same way, perhaps using it to spark the idea for a craft project too. I am planning to suggest students use this site as a tool of many during research paper time. The site does ban explicit images but there are some things that younger children probably shouldn’t see. If used for older children it should be fine. During research paper, my student do group presentations, and/or single presentations at which time, they are required to make all props. Nothing borrowed or new allowed.

Strategy=to share ideas with other people and coworkers and do it in a new way without criticism toward directly you. The link is stress-free and allows you to be able to share ideas and voice thoughts without direct criticism. I think in the future this will help my students be able to express their ideas more clearly and fully without the fear of judgment. They can give and get their peer criticism anonymous. It’s a great tool for collaboration. The site tells us anyone can: Write feedback for anyone, Send anonymously via email, feedback usefulness is rated. Feedback is completely private.
Betterme, seems to possess lots of potential for the shy, private student who never raises their hand or volunteers anything.

Facebook – can be a wonderful tool for learning. I have seen instructors communicate assignments, polls, share ideas (Twitter). The instructor requires all her students to friend her on Facebook. The instructor then proceeds to write their assignments on her wall for students to “come and get it.”

Creditable is a tool and a collaboration platform. It is free and anonymous. Designed to help you meet your credit goals by generating a personalized credit plan and helps you connect with people who have similar goals. It offers blogs, community Q&A, collaboration, sharing tips, and working together.
I think this is a great site, and I can see lots uses not only for personal uses but for the classroom. I am planning on using this site in my classes: Introduction to Psychology and Lifespan Development. This is extremely helpful for students who are just learning about money management (financial aid), stress management and about repayment. The best part of it is that it is private and offers anonymity.
