TOP 10 TOOLS 2007
Russel Tarr

Russel is Head of History at the International School of Toulouse, France. He is author of the award-winning website www.activehistory.co.uk and is an administrator of the history teachers’ discussion forum at www.schoolhistory.co.uk/forum. Russel is particularly interested in the use of online games and simulations as tools for learning.

He writes: I've tried to include a range of tools which are often overlooked rather than restate the obvious ones again.

Russell's Top 10 Tools as at 19 August 2007

  1. Classtools.net : Create your own educational online games and activities with a whole range of Flash templates that can be saved for future editing and embedded into your own blog / website.

  2. Bubbl.us : A fantastic collaborative mindmapping application, freely available online.

  3. ContentGenerator.net : Allows teachers and students to create Flash games and quizzes

  4. Dynamic Drive : Snippets of code to put into web pages to add more interactivity polls, animations and so on.

  5. Flash Kit : Editable Flash movies which are great for learning how to get to grips with this application.

  6. Puzzlemaker : An oldie but a goldie create your own crosswords at the click of a button.  A nice way of spicing up an old paper test.

  7. del.icio.us : An incomparable way of sharing bookmarks with fellow educators. I am del.icio.us/russeltarr - feel free to add me to your network!

  8. Leech Video : Installs a tool in your browser so that with a single click you can download videos directly from YouTube for offline storage and viewing.

  9. Wimpy FLV player : Ties in with number [8] videos downloaded from YouTube will be in .flv format (Flash video). This little piece of freeware allows you to play the videos on your computer.

  10. FindSounds : An awesome search engine dedicated purely and simply to finding sound files much like YouTube does for video.
