Delicious (How did I manage without this awesome tool?)
Google (mail, calendar, reader, maps, talk)
Plurk (I LOVE the conversations here!)
Dreamweaver (I’ve tried other web editors – always come back to DW)
Fireworks (and this interfaces so well with DreamWeaver!)

Anyway, my top tools:

1. Del.icio.us
2. Google Reader
3. Google Calendar
4. Blackboard (not by choice – still in grad school)
5. Flickr

There are others that I love, but don’t use them as often as those above. When I have the time, I love Twitter and YouTube.

1. delicious. there was web life b4 this?

2. ning. i couldn’t run class, nor PD the same way again: http://virtualsouthside.ning.com & http://stjoeh2o.ning.com as examples.

3. twitter. sometimes annoying, often interesting, sometimes even inspiring for brief moments.

4. flickr. i’m visual. i’ve tried others. i am switching to flickr. i am maybe 5% there.

5. iTunes. audiobooks, podcasts, etc.

6. slideshare. scan it… it really does contain things to inspire, as opposed to a place to simply stash meaningless slides.

7. scribd. I have really just began to utilize this one, but it is very cool.

8. photoshop. Ok- if you include “creating” as the top of of learning taxonomy, then I have to include this one. I have used it since 1994 and couldn’t do without it.

9. zotero. This one is new to me as well as far as how much I know about it… but wow. This is powerful for research!

10. keynote. give up on powerpoint once & for all. do it. (oh, sorry… if you have a Mac, that is) OR… try “sliderocket.” it looks as slick as anything i have seen as a webapp.

thank you, drive through………..

1. Google Reader. So many wonderful posts to read and learn from. I also use it to manage the student blogs that I help monitor.

2. Google Notebook. Since delicious is now blocked, I have found Notebook to be a great way to organize those jewels that I have found or want to revisit.

3. Audacity. We use iPods a lot in our classrooms for administering tests to students who need reading assistance. Audacity makes it real easy to record tests and chop the files into the pieces that we need.

4. Garageband. I use this tool to create my podcasts. Audacity is great for creating audio tests, but Garageband is the tool for me when it comes to making rich multimedia.

5. Edublogs. I have brought teachers and students aboard the blogosphere with this tool. Real simple to get students set up and running.

1. Yahoo Groups: I’ve been in groups that were not too beneficial, but when you get in a good one it is well worth the time.
2. Printshop: Yes, it’s an old program, but when I need to do a quick little project, it is my first choice. This program just is in sync with my brain!
3. Photoshop Elements: Definitely not an intuitive program in my opinion and it isn’t my first choice for print projects. However if I need to make a photo slide show or edit RAW photos, it is quick, efficient, and gives great results.
4. Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus: Yes, it is designed for scrapbooking, but I am now using this extensively for school. My latest use for the program is for posting class information with photos for parents on our gradebook program.
5. Powerpoint: I use this all the time – but not with the boring templates that put teenagers to sleep!

Best to stick to the rules I suppose.

1. Delicious
2. Firefox
3. MediaWiki
4. Joomla
5. Google Reader

My students just love Google Reader – go figure.
