  Top 100 Tools for Learning 2009

  
  

  As I view this slide share of the Top 100 Tools for Learning of 2009 from Jane Hart, I am excited about the variety of these tools and all the uses in the classroom. I am also ready to dive in and learn about the ones which I am not familar with. Consider it a challenge to explore the ones which are new to you! If you explored one a day and then applied it to your instruction, you would find yourself a learner and your students will enjoy learning right along with you!

• 100 Best YouTube Videos for Teachers - Classroom 2.0

  When someone takes the time to organize and annotate sites it certainly saves us time! Here is a great list of 100 top YouTube videos for educators. Check out this comprehensive list. The nice thing about YouTube videos is that if they are blocked in your district, you can easily embed them into your blog or wiki. Just find the embed code to the right of the video, highlight it and then go to your wiki or blog and select your widget and paste the code in. Frequently they will have a YouTube widget since it is such a popular medium.

reMap: A Visual Wall of Websites

• reMap

  
  

  If you haven't experienced a visual wall as a graphical way to navigate the internet, then you will need to take a look at this website. Begin by scrolling at the bottom to the right through the tags (they are arranged alphabetically) from the year 1999 to Yahoo! Watch how responsive and dynamic this content is! Click on one of the tags and you will see the graphics change in the visual wall. Then you can browse through the images. If you want to explore one further, you can 'pop it out' by clicking in the very upper right corner of the image- an arrow appears. This allows you to read a brief annotation of the image and will provide the URL and you can view the website in a new page or tab. Play and enjoy.

I Need My Teachers to Learn

Kevin Honeycutt is one of the most inspirational Techno-educators I have ever met. He energizes a group of teachers by walking in the room.

He has a mulitude of talents and he has posted a song he wrote on YouTube. I had to share it on my blog and I hope you will spend the time watching this wonderful music video. Ask your students to watch it and if they feel this way!

• Glogster - Poster Yourself

  Here is an innovative and creative way to have students create musical and interactive posters to represent their research! Think about posting images of how a volcano erupts and then including a video to show a real volcano lava flow! The ideas are endless and inspiring! Encourage kids to experiment.
