I am the Lead Community Manager for LearnHub, an Education 2.0 company based out of Toronto, Ontario. I have been diligently growing what is now a populated, active social learning community full of great members and topical communities. Working with online communities is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding careers. I have the pleasure of working with amazing people from all over the world, helping them develop some of the most engaging content found on the internet. Who wouldn't love that? No doubt that is why online communities are so popular!

Before arriving on the LearnHub scene, I was the Community Manager for Habbo Hotel, a virtual hotel for teenagers.>

Adam's Top 10 Tools as at 20 March 2008

1. LearnHub - I am deeply involved in a number of educational communities within LearnHub: Photography 101, Education 2.0, Geography, Canadian History, and Creative Writing. I often find myself sharing my own knowledge through lesson articles, uploading videos, creating tests, as well as interacting with tons of other members interested in the same topics as me. I have access to a bunch of member created content that has already made me a much smarter person!
2. Wikipedia - If I ever need a quick quip of information on - anything really - I can search Wiki and get exactly what I need.
3. Firefox - If I am using Windows or OS X, I always use Firefox. It's stable and has a great number of useful add-ons.
4. Camtasia Studio - A video screen capture program that allows me to make great quality educational videos in very few steps.
5. iTunes - For all my music needs! I'm listening to my music right now in fact.
6. Adobe Photoshop - I've been using Photoshop since version 4.0. It is no doubt the best image editing/creation program out there.
7. Thunderbird - A solid e-mail program that I've never had any problems with. Like Firefox, it has a ton of great add-ons.
8. Edublogs - Everyday I find more and more great blogs on Education. There are so many amazing people connected to this.
9. flickr - No doubt the best image hosting and community site out there. Fast, reliable, and easy to use.
10. Google Docs - The best way to share and cooperatively edit documents with other people. It's solid and has no formatting issues when copying and pasting from outside sources.
