LectureTools Could be interesting for students to use their own computer to interact in class. Need to see just how this works to decide if it is worth trying. Looks like you might be able to use as a free LMS?
LectureTools is designed to provide a class experience by:

1. Enabling note-taking synchronized to lecture slides,
2. Providing opportunities to pose questions electronically during lecture,
3. Including a complete personal responder system to participate actively in class activities and
4. Tools for self-assessment of confidence of understanding
Dimdim Free - Dimdim: Web conferencing that just works. I had used Zoho Meetings for this once before, but they now have limited you to just one other person in the meeting. Still useful for computer troubleshooting. This might be more usable for some training sessions for my department.
Dimdim Free. The world’s easiest web conference. With Dimdim Free, people and organizations around the world can now meet freely. And since everyone will spend less time traveling and more time collaborating, this free product can actually help you make money. Take that, economy! Now the world can meet freely with up to 20 people, absolutely free.
OurStory.com - Capture your stories, save them permanently. Not really related to my classrooms (at least not right now), but something I might use for my own personal story. I had started a timeline of my life with another program, that has since disappeared from the net...maybe I'll get one done and archived here?
  1. Make your timeline about anything
  2. Collaborate with family and friends
  3. Share it with whomever you want
  4. Add your timeline to MySpace or your blog
