Jason's  Top 10 Tools as at 9 February 2008

1. del.icio.us  Makes sharing online resources within faculties easy. Promotes student collaboration in research. I visit the main page a couple of times a day to check whats new, hip and happening.

2. Sprout Builder  An easy to use interface for creating embeddable flash widgets for your wikis, blogs, OLPs and social networks. It has numerous templates and enabes the easy creation of custom Youtube viewers, podcast jukeboxes, slideshows, Polldaddy polls, etc

3. PollDaddy Create free polls and surveys. What do students like/dislike about your teaching style? What do you do too much of in class? What would they like to see more of?

4. Wikispaces Wikis for collaborative research, assignment submission, general information dissemination.

5. Wikipedia For all the criticism levelled against it; it is a brilliant source of information.

6. YouTube Video student presentations and upload for the student's themselves to assess their work. Search for physics, history, language etc videos to use as tools in the class.

7. ActivStudio We have Promethean boards and I find the screenshot and screen recording tools to be extremely useful. Also, excellent mathematical tools.

8. Geogebra Great maths tool. Graphing, equations, pythagoras, area etc, this is excellent free software with a corresponding help wiki that contains many excellent lesson ideas

9. Stage6 Youtube is too low-res for most desktop demonstrations. Stage6 is a high-def video uploading site that allows means you can actually see what the cursor is doing in desktop demonstrations.

10. bubbl.us Simple collaborative mind-mapping tool.
