My Top 5 FAVORITE Tools

# 5      

Jing – It is a wonderful tool to pull together a tutorial or compile a list of sources for another teacher.

#4       

Google Docs – This tool allows for individual work, student/teacher collaboration, and teacher/teacher collaboration.

#3       

Diigo – This tool lets you bookmark sites as an html and photo document in addition to allowing you to make notes and highlight important parts.

#2       

YouTube – There are just so many great videos archived on the site that can enhance a lesson.  (Especially if the video starts with "School House Rock")

And there is a tie for #1 since they go so nicely together………

Flickr – This is a wonderful tool to store all of the class photos by event or date.

Animoto – This is such a fun way to turn photos into a video presentation along with selected music.  It really sets the tone of the event or photos.
