Edistorm

http://www.edistorm.com/ After extensive research into available tools for collaborative brainstorming and innovation, we chose Edistorm. The simplicity of the interface and sticky note concept make it easy to use for all participants, from the techno-savvy, to techno-tards (as we like to call the technologically challenged amongst us). Edistorm allows our teams to easily input, collaborate and vet ideas, from one location or multiple locations, in real time, while also sharing relevant images, videos and links within the Edistorm. We also appreciate Edistorm's commitment to innovation on their own platform and continuous quest to improve and update. All in all, one of the best platforms out there for generating ideas and then, more importantly, making them happen. Edistorm has given teachers anywhere/anytime access to their students' data, and increased the level of conversations teachers are having about our students.
