Tools of the Trade

Hi all

I've spent a lot of time on this blog discussing the various concepts we've learnt throughout this subject to satisfy the course requirements. Now I'd like to investigate further into the various e-learning tools available to teachers which can assist them in making their lessons more engaging and applicable to today's students.

The following site lists the top 100 e-learning tools of 2009. In future blogs I hope to discuss some of these in more depth.

I think it is interesting to see that Twitter is voted as the top e-learning tool for 2009 when I consider this to be for primarily social use. It is a real eye-opener to consider the various possibilities and uses of these tools and how they can be adapted for learning contexts.

Cheers

  1. Hi! Lyneale

    I looked at your recommend web site. Twitter to be No.1! Wow!! I can not believe it!

    I avoided it as well as could not see any value to it but I guess I have to give it go as well. Thank you for interesting web site. When I saw that web site, I realised I am not too bad as most of the tool I use daily base. However I also believe although we value all the ICT's tool, the life is not only about ICTs. If we can use those tool to make a life much more easy and comfortable, I think it is great. I sometimes see some people are so hooked into it and forget about what is the actual value of the life.

    Anyway great info. Thank you for posting.

    Regards
