Wordsearch maker (www.wordsearchmaker.net) is a great free tool to create wordsearches for your children. This could be for their spelling words that week or it could be for words based around a particular topic. Once finished, simply share the URL of the wordsearch with them or use the embed tool to embed it into a website or blog.

The random name selector from Primary Technology (http://primaryschoolict.com/random-name-selector/) is great for selecting names for grouping or for the next person to present at a Teachmeet, but it can also be used to improve writing. Instead of names, enter different sentence types, spin the wheels and the children use these sentences in their writing.
More information is in this blog post. http://ianaddison.net/random-sentences/

You know that effect where a photo is black-and-white but one aspect is still in colour? That can be done for free, very easily using PicMonkey.com. There is no need to worry about layering, you simply colour in parts of the image.

3x3Links is a great tool for sharing links with children. It allows you to create folders of links or each box can just be a direct link. Ideally, there could be a folder per class or subject.
An example is here: www.3x3links.com/stjohn
