Cool Tools…

August 21, 2008 | 1 Comment

Sometimes the array of powerful web tools available for schools is overwhelming, with more being added every day.  Part of my job is to track new tools and act as a filter, introducing them to teachers and students as learning needs dictate, but even I find it difficult to keep up.

Now, from the twitterverse (one of those tools), comes Cool Tools for Schools, a wiki (another of those tools), where the vast array is cataloged into a relatively easy-to-use reference for educators.  It seems to have all the biggies, and has introduced me to a few of the more obscure options out there.

What’s you favorite cool tool for school?

    I had seen this one before, but thanks for the reminder. What a great collection of sites – but so many to look at.

    A few I HADN’T seen and am going to check out are:

    http://www.befunky.com/
    http://www.asterpix.com/

    And another great collection of sites to take a look at (even though they are not all Web 2.0) is http://blog.ted.com/2007/08/100_websites_yo.php.
