Free Tool for Creating Audio
The new free tool AudioPal allows users an easy way to create audio for online. You have the option of recording by phone or by mic, uploading an audio file, or simply typing in text and having it converted to speech. AudioPal will then email you code to allow you to embed your audio widget where ever you would like. This could be a great tool to allow students to work with and share audio in online and enhanced classes and might also be used for creating audio for lectures and tutorial instruction.

Learn a new language for free!
Here is an interesting little language site I ran into recently it's called LiveMocha it allows you to learn languages at your own pace with the addition of a social network. You can speak with other members from other countries in their native language. I've used Rossetta Stone in the past which is a great product but the ability to converse with others online in their native language to practice what you've learned...genius!
