Mux video transcoder
I'm using Linux at home and I can't watch some video formats (for example: flash video, because my flash can't be updated now, I don't know why) but I have found a good tool for my problem: Mux. You must write the URL of the video, the input type and the wanted output type and it will convert the video to the wanted format. You are emailed when it's all done. I think it's cool, because I don't want to change my OS.

Moodle - the course management system
Moodle is a very nice tool for online pedagogic usage. It's a free, Open Source software package for helping educators create effective online learning communities.
"You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a 50,000-student University. This site itself is created using Moodle, so check out the Moodle Demonstration Courses or read the latest Moodle Buzz".
"Moodle has a large and diverse user community with over 150,000 registered users on this site alone, speaking over 75 languages in over 160 countries (we have more statistics here). The best place to start is Using Moodle, which is where the main international discussions are held in English, but we have a variety of groups discussing other topics and in other languages."
It has lots of plugins and modules, for ex.: AIM, translator, analog clock block, audio recorder to making mp3 files, and all. And it has very nice themes to make the learning more entertaining.

FindSounds
Everybody can search sounds with this great search engine. I found this site with the StumbleUpon.
You can click on any link there to perform a search, or You can enter one or more words in the search box, and then click "Search".
You can find here the sounds of the alligators or the sounds of Jurassic Park too.
It's very amusing. I have three little kids and they love this sounds!
