I really, really liked Backpack. Alas it is not free. But it seems great to me, because I always need serious help with organization. And it seems easy to use, which is of the utmost importance. You can share your schedule with others on your team, so you can keep track of one another, making scheduling meetings easier, without running around to find people. You can have reminders sent to your e-mail or phone.
Flickr would be the next tool I would choose. It also is easy to navigate. You can set up groups of the type of photos that you wish to share, so that each class or subject you teach can have its own folder. You can use photos for each unit, to cover vocabulary or basic concepts that you will expand on later. Students can take photos you choose or choose their own and make their own albums to illustrate whatever you wish. And each students' is unique to him/her. I like that they can share these photos with you and you could reply if it is appropriate or not, because you can leave notes directly on the photographs. And depending what your subject is you can place your photo on a map to make it clearer say, where certain elements are most common in the world.
