This site lets you compile playlists of YouTube videos. You can keep all your ducks in a row here for listening or speaking practice.
Odd title--that I grant. But DimDim offers free, open source multimedia videoconferencing with live voice and video: in other words, a live classroom for anyone on the web.

THis is the site for the international one-minute film festival. For our purposes, it is a great source of videos for listening practice, and for discussion topics, all free. Heck, your class might even want to enter as a class project.
