How To Think & Learn... Didaroots. E-Learning & Teaching tools. Gizmos! Online simulations that power inquiry and understanding. The Top 100 Tools for Learning 2012 list is revealed. UPDATE: The Top100Tools Club opening January This year’s Top 100 Tools for Learning list (the 6th Annual Survey) has been compiled from the votes of 582 learning professionals worldwide – 55% working in education, 45% working in non-educational organizations.

The Top 100 Tools for Learning 2012 list is revealed

The top tool for the 4th year running is Twitter, with both YouTube (2nd) and Google Docs (aka Google Drive) (3rd) retaining their places for the 3rd year in succession. Once again the list is dominated by free online social tools. However, what struck me when compiling the list this year (and reading many of the notes added to the individual contributors’ lists) was the huge difference between the tools that are now being used in education compared with those in workplace learning. In terms of tool trends, this year’s list has seen an increase in the popularity of curation tools and social magazines for the iPad (like Scoopit, Flipboard and Zite). But now for the complete 2012 Top 100 Tools list. Accueil de Didawiki - Didawiki. Conceptual-framework-chart.gif. Cj_diagram.gif (Image GIF, 650x700 pixels) IDEA. Topics - matiere.

The MOOC, Education Technology & Media, etmooc, is used here as a working example of how to develop a PLN. “My Personal Learning Network is the key to keeping me up-to-date with all the changes that are happening in education and how technology can best support and engage today’s students.” Brian Metcalfe: teacher, blogger at lifelonglearners.com A visual image of participants in an open, online course- etmooc, which shows the potential to find and create personal connections as part of one’s PLN.

Nov. 1998: "It takes a whole village to raise a child." - Igbo and Yoruba (Nigeria) Proverb

Igbo and Yoruba (Nigeria) Proverb Explanation: This Igbo and Yoruba (Nigeria) proverb exists in different forms in many African languages.

Les besoins s'inscriraient dans le cadre d'une hiérarchie. Remarque : lorsqu'un besoin précédent n'est plus satisfait, il redevient prioritaire. "The deepest definition of youth is life as yet untouched by tragedy"
