Topp 100 digitale læringsverktøy

Jane Hart ved Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies presenterer de 100 mest populære digitale læringsverktøyene i en artikkel i eLearn Magazine. Hun hevder at selve rangeringen ikke er mest interessant, men snarere det vide spekteret av verktøy som anvendes for digital læring. Her er det mange tips å hente!

Her er listen over de 10 mest populære, så kan du grave videre selv:

1. Firefox,
   the Web browser, tops the list with over 50 percent of contributors
   naming it as one of their favorite tools. It is frequently cited as
   people's "window into the Web," and its ease of use and the extra
   functionality of its add-ons make it a powerful tool. Some of the
   Firefox add-ons even get their own ranking in the list. Other browsers
   do appear on the list, but lower down the rankings.
2. del.icio.us
   is clearly another important tool for managing personal learning with
   40 percent of contributors mentioning it. In our survey, it is well
   ahead of other social bookmarking tools.
3. Skype was
   named by nearly 35 percent of contributors and leads other text and
   voice messaging tools due to its VoIP features and its impressive list
   of add-ons to extend its functionality.
4. Google Search
   follows closely behind Skype, and it is clear from the comments that
   this is another vital tool for many. It has long been said that Google
   is the ultimate e-learning tool and its high ranking here bears this
   out. When people need to find something out they simply "Google" it. In
   fact Google tools dominate the list, which shows how important and
   pervasive they have become.
5. PowerPoint
   takes an impressive slot at 5th place. For all the complaints we hear
   about "death by PowerPoint," it is clearly a much-used tool-and not
   just to build presentations. PowerPoint is pretty unique in that it
   doesn't have any real competition on the list.
6. Wordpress, the blogging tool, narrowly beat out its main rival, Blogger (see below).
7. Gmail is the most popular email application in our survey, and is tied for 7th place along with…
   
8. Google Reader, the favourite tool for reading RSS feeds.
9. Blogger is another blogging tool.
10. Word makes a high ranking in the 10th position, although Google Docs
    is close on its heels (in the 14th position). It is interesting to note
    that Word and PowerPoint are the only commercial tools in the Top 10.
