Pages = Word Processing. It is the inkwell icon (Save, then export)

Keynote = Powerpoint. It is the podium looking icon. (Save, export as quicktime or flash to post on web)

Photo booth = Fun to play with pictures to use in other applications. Looks like the photo booth with the red curtain.

Jing = Screen capturing to make a tutorial. Shows someone what you are doing on the computer. Web based application.

Wiki = a collaborative webpage. Can create student access... Example: Each kid does a mineral and published the info with the world.

RSS Feeds: Subscribe to the students pages, so that when they update you will see it...

Using igoogle to create a tab for each course. Specifically giving each a tab and access to a course specific calendar.
