20 Web 2.0 Sites that does not Require Sto

This is a post I've been wanting to do for some quite some time but had to do some research to get the information I needed.  A huge factor for schools in dealing w/ students and working online is CIPA/COPPA compliance.  This is to ensure student safety as well as monitor/filter their online behavior.  As Web 2.0 becomes more popular and Educational Technology online sites replace desktop software this has become more of an issue.  A lot of subscription based or Ed Tech sites require a student email address to create an account which can become a BIG issue when dealing w/ CIPA compliance, because a majority of students to not have a school email account.  That being said, there are still a number of Web 2.0 sites that do not require a student email address to create an account.
