Titanpad is a synchronous collaborative digital text editing tool, which allows a group of students to work together synchronously on a given task on different computers. The advantage in evaluating such a task lies in a specific function: All entries are marked in a name-specific color. So the teacher is always aware of who has written which part.
Bitstrips offers you the possibility to teach with comics that a hundred percent suit the teaching goal, because you have created them. It is fairly easy to use and is not only fun the students, but as well for the teacher. I've integrated two comics in this E-portfolio which I created. Here you find the links: 1) Teaching Backshift of tenses 2) Equipment in School. The best is that you don't need to set up an account to get started.

It is constantly updated by a team of teachers and academics. I can definitely recommend this website.
