This is a mash-up of some of my favorite Web 2.0 tools for K-12 education.
Please note, some suggested may be for teacher use rather than student use.

SuperLame!
A fun online tool to add speech bubbles to images you upload. You can use it for annotating an image, adding vocabulary to an image, or have people or items in an image speak for themselves.

ThingLink
This tool allows you to add tags and links to images and then embed them online. I am new to this tool, but it seems interesting to me. There are free education accounts.
