I posted this inquiry on Thinkfinity and received a fantastic response:
Thinkfinity: Do you know of some Thinkfinity...
Critical Thinker
A website for learners, readers and writers of all ages. A PSALM OF LIFE: What the Heart of the Young Man (or Woman, apologies to Longfellow) Said to the Psalmist: Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. Henry David Wadsworth Longfellow, Oct. 1838

Another Cool Tool
WebDocs: http://www.webdoc.com/documents/C4E00402-4630-0001-D6ED-2A40E46BC4F0. I created one in a few minutes. It is similar to Glogster, but I think it is easier to use.
New Tool for Students: Storybird
I just found a new tool for students--Storybird. Students create narrative short stories based on a visual and collaborate on the story with friends. I have not yet begun to use the tool, but you should check out the cool stories posted by students. I think the key here is "students" are the creators. I have not had time to explore, but it appears to cater to K-8.
A new literacy tool for a new generation
"Storybirds are short, art-inspired stories that are curiously fun to make, share, and read. Teachers love them because they inspire their most reluctant writers and readers and reward their most adventurous. Kids adore them because they feel empowered by the tools and supported by the social feedback."
