I could see using understood.com to poll my students on if they are "getting it" or not. I often use thumbs up or thumbs down. However, some classes may not be comfortable identifying themselves as not getting it, so the poll allows students to express their lack of understanding anonymously.
I've started using Twitter. So far, I'm enjoying the links to interesting articles pertaining to education. I've got some things I'm following in Tweet Deck, and I hope to expand the use of this in my PLN.
Now I'm torn on the whole Zite, Flipboard, and feedly apps. I can't dedicate time to using all of these (plus twitter) so I'm going to need to decide which is the best forum for me to use. I don't know if I would prefer to follow blogs, tweeters, or news feeds. Perhaps I'll settle on a combination of the apps.
Subtext seems like an awesome tool for the classroom. I can envision being able to use this with even classroom sets of iPads or iPods to assign articles or books with assignments for them. Until I see how you can structure assignments, I can't say for sure, but it seems like there are great possibilities with this.
