Themes is a nifty application that has apparently been around for a year, but I just recently learned about it. I’m immediately adding it to The Best Places Where Students Can Write Online, Part Two Of The Best Sites For Students To Easily Create & Display Online Projects and The Best Social Bookmarking Applications For English Language Learners & Other Students.

It allows you to basically create individual webpages (theoretically based on “themes”) and very easily add maps, images, documents, text, and even RSS feeds.

It’s not perfect, since it doesn’t have an embed option, and it doesn’t have a “drag-and-drop” functionality for images and webpages that some of the other sites on the best Bookmarking list have, but its ease of use makes it very attractive. Students could certainly use it to create categories of images or texts, for example, which is something I explain a bit more in the best bookmarking sites list.

Let me know what you think.
