A list is being compiled for the top ten learning tools for 2009.
I added my top ten for 2009. I did this very quickly via twitter and just tried to concentrate on the tools I use and find useful on a regular basis. If you look at the list, my contribution is number 117. It is very interesting to view the lists of others. My list includes the following tools with examples of how I have used them.
1. Netvibes See example of my pages here and here
2. Twitter
3. Elluminate, because the classroom2.0 live sessions have been so useful for me this year. You can play catch up with the archives here. I have posted about some of the sessions here and here.
4. Delicious The only way I can keep up with all the great resources that are shared via twitter. I have rss feeds to our teacher wiki, for my tags for science, math, english, socialstudiespd.
5. JingProject A tool I have used with success with students and teachers for professional development.
6. iTouch the focus of a few blog posts and I continue to marvel at the depth of its’ utility.
7. Picnik recently reinstated as the photo-editor that does the job quickly and easily. I especially like the way you can upload a png file, edit and download as a jpg without having to login. Super easy.
8. Googledocs, lately google forms has been specifically useful with faculty sign ups and surveys. If I had a regular class, I would definitely be using google forms as an assessment tool.
9. Slideshare works alongside netvibes with its easy to use embed code. Check out how I used it in a pd activity here
10. WordPress, thedigitalbackpack blog runs on wordpress.
