Top 100 Tools for Learning

The Top 100 Tools for Learning (http://www.c4lpt.co.uk/recommended/index.html), a list compiled by educators worldwide, I found to be pretty interesting while scrolling through. Along with the standings for 2009, they also list the tools' standing in 2007 and 2008 which was the first thing I noticed and neat to see how some tools have advanced or receded through the list. Another thing I found interesting about the list was how many highly rated tools- even in the top 20- I'd never heard of before taking this class (Moodle, Delicious, Google Reader/Docs, Audacity, Voicethread..) and some not at all (Slideshare, Ning, Jing..). The list was compiled by close to 300 learning professionals, showing that these advanced media tools ARE being implemented and that teachers ARE taking strides to bring technology into their lessons and better prepare their students, which is encouraging.
