Jane recently blogged about a professional development program that she created, centered around her top 25 e-learning tools. I highly recommend going to the site and working through the activities for any of the tools you are unfamiliar with  .." Computer Science Teachers Association, the Advocate

1 April 2008 25 Tools Professional Development Programme "is one of many produced by Jane Hart. Its an interesting compilation of 'free' tools' , many of which you are probably aware of.

They may be just the tools they need to move them into greater use of technology to support learning. I intend to use this article as the basis for some staff PD over the next term and explore such varied delights as Jing, del.icio.us, Google Docs, Slideshare, Flickr, Voicethread and whatever else may appear in this rapidly changing world!"  Lucacept - intercepting the Web
7 March 2008 "Les spécialistes du e-learning connaissent bien le site de Jane, et lui rendent régulièrement une visite qui n'est jamais déçue.

Jane n'a pas sa pareille pour dénicher les outils commerciaux ou gratuits qui feront le bonheur des entreprises comme des professionnels. Non contente d'avoir déjà référencé 2000 outils libres ou commerciaux pour le e-learning, et d'avoir distingué parmi ceux-ci un top 100 que nous trouvons bien inspiré, Jane nous dégotte quotidiennement un truc,une astuce, une information qui touche à notre domaine de prédilection : merci pour ce "Jane's E-Learning Pick of the Day"... Car c'est peut-être la seule faiblesse du site, que celle d'être dans la seule langue de Shakespeare !

Les 100 outils du top de Mlle Jane proviennent d'une compilation faite à partir d'un grand nombre d'avis donnés par des professionnels de l'éducation et de la formation... vous pouvez toujours donner votre avis pour influencer cette liste où figurent des outils de nature très variées : del.icio.us, Firefox, Skype... (pas vraiment l'idée que l'on se fait d'outils e-learning, mais pouvant néanmoins contribuer à une telle démarche), ou encore Moodle (LMS, en 12ème position) ou Articulate (outil auteur en 19ème position)."  e-Learning-infos.com in the posting Jane Knight: chevalier blanc du e-learning

Hundreds of learning tools have been indexed on a growing directory ranging from traditional to E-Learning collaboration tools. All the technology tool categories have been separated by free or commercial, a feature that many teachers can appreciate. Want to start listening to a podcast? Or better yet, how about creating or delivering your own podcasts? Take a look at all the free podcasting tools to get you going. The Centre for Learning and Performance Technologies site also has an E-Learning Handbook that is divided into a number of parts.

25 Sep 2007 "One of my favorite blogs is Jane’s eLearning Pick of the Day. Jane gives me a snapshot of one new learning tool just about every day and if nothing else, I sound pretty cool at cocktail parties (ok, fine, usually at the park or playdate) when I can say, “Oh, gosh, that’s a funny story. We really should capture it on Viddler!” or “Oh, yes, late yesterday we were mindmapping with bubbl.us and the most amazing thing happened!” But, seriously, some of Jane’s little blog whispers have made an enormous impact on the instructional design work that I do and the awareness of new and helpful tools to use. And that’s another thing about blogs… once you subscribe and read awhile you do feel as though you know the person. It’s as if Jane is saying, “Gosh, here’s something Shannon should know about!”  The future of Training

Hers is a good starting point.", Skills for life blog
