Posterous - use email to blog. Attach pictures, videos, audio, and documents and they will be posted and even embedded to your blog. To learn about the latest features being added to Posterous, take a look at their blog.

Communication plays a vital role in our schools. Posterous allows teachers the ability to easily communicate with parents, colleagues, students, and the community using a technology they are already familiar with -- email. By harnessing the power and flexibility of blogging along with the ease of email, everybody -- teachers, administrators, and students -- can efficiently post:

lesson plans
assignments
announcements/reminders
school and class newsletters
parent information
academic reflection (teachers and students)
professional development
e-portfolios
student podcasts (built in support in Posterous)
video projects
image libraries
documents (PDF, Word, Excel, etc.)

Furthermore, Posterous has an auto-posting feature. You can post to Posterous and have it automatically post to several third party services -- Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and others. This makes Posterous even more flexible and powerful.
