Making a website was pretty fun, its nice to make something that is actually usable by others. Weebly is also really easy to use, so its almost impossible to make a website that looks objectively bad unless you're trying to. A good teacher website can also be extremely convenient for future students, as it gives them a centralized location to look for information they need. Overall this has been an excellent experience, which I may use sometime in my future.

Diigo is pretty darn useful, being able to save notes, citations and even just websites in a single area is an excellent tool. It's connection to others is also another great angle you could lean on for stuff like group projects. In fact, you could use it in conjunction with a website to store and publish annotations on scholarly articles for any future student to read with 0 hassle. It could be useful for a good history department as well, as it allows you to share any good resources you find with the rest of your peers almost instantly.
As for a website to help stay ahead of the curve in terms of technological changes, nothing is better than twitter. The young people are always active, and the trending system makes sure that cool stuff gets shown to you on a regular basis. There are plenty of technology-related users who post about cool new tech stuff as well, so you can rely on a few of those to keep you informed. Overall, its a good place to keep on top of trends. An excellent example of a good place to stay ahead on education-related technology is the official Harvard School of Education twitter account. They make near daily posts highlighting education-related articles, a lot of which include talks about technology.
