Pattie's Top 10 Tools as at
20 February 2008
-
del.icio.us -
A favourite
among many, the tag and search features of this
free social bookmarking tool have been
invaluable to me in keeping track of resources
for myself.
-
SplashCast -
A free and easy
to use tool that allows you to
"create
streaming media ‘channels’ that mix together
video, music, photos, narration, text, as well
as RSS feeds, PowerPoint presentations and PDF
documents. These user-generated channels can be
played and easily syndicated on any web site,
blog, or social network page."
-
TooFAST -
A free and
"simple online survey tool for teachers to
assess their students' impressions of their
courses and their teaching."
-
Microsoft
OneNote -
A great tool
that helps me keep my notes organized. Because
it's on a tablet PC, it's easy to add drawings
and diagrams to notes.
-
Convertible
Tablet PC - I bought mine about 2 years ago, but
here is the latest version of the
Gateway Convertible Tablet.
I love it -- it's great for meetings and
for the online eLearning development I do!
-
FastStone Photo Resizer
-
Free tool that
allows quick batch conversion or resizing of
photos.
-
WetPaint Wiki - Provides free wikis, and now
has ad-free educational wikis. Very
user-friendly interface.
-
Audacity - A great free (open source) tool
for creating and editing audio files.
-
Turbine video encoder - A relatively
inexpensive tool to convert video to .flv
format. (Free Trial)
-
SMART Ideas - Very useful concept mapping
tool! (Free Trial)
