Tools for Better Submissions 1 Timelines

For the next little while I am going to focus on tools for students to use to generate better products in electronic format for their work submissions.  With each tool I graded on 3 points you can use when you evaluate it
1) is it easy to use?
2)does it allow students to showcase all types of information?
3)educationally appropriate material or uncontrolled?
