Twiducate is a free program for teachers. It is used to continue teaching outside of the classroom between the teachers and students. It is easy to use and is pretty much the same as every other social networking website. You do not have to download anything all you have to do is register.

Skype

Skype is a free to download instant messaging program that allows you to make video calls to people over the internet. You can also make calls to peoples house phones for a low price. The downside to this program is that you need a microphone and a webcam to access its full potential but the great thing about it is you have great quality communication to people around the world.

Metacafe

Metacafe is a media website that allows you to register and upload videos of your liking. You may also watch videos on Metacafe without registering it has many of the same features as the widely used Youtube but it has less users. It has a very clean look and easy to use design. I recommend if you are sick of using Youtube switch to Metacafe

Google Chrome

Google Chrome is google personal web browser that has been said to be the fastest web browser to this day. It has an amazing smooth look to it and runs super fast, faster the Mozilla Firefox although it may be faster I some of the buttons are located in weird place that make it sometimes hard to navigate but it has all the same features as any other web browser.
