Wow! What a great collection of Tools!! I will have to spend a lot of time exploring this

I wish they had iPad recommendations, too! Of course, the Flash tools won't work on our iPads. Looks like a great list of resources.

Couldn't resist posting this for Ellen and other 25Things grads.

Great tools for mind mapping and brainstorming, meeting some of the Common Core ELA

CommonCraft style video on Blended Learning.  We don't have a formal LMS, so teachers have to create the suggested uses of Web 2.0 tools to foster creativity, and collect data in ways that make sense in their classrooms.

An update to the TED talks of years past where the creator Hans Rosling first demonstrated GapMinder.  Easy to use tool with amazing possibilities.

Check out Google's new tool for taking data (i.e. coffee growers world wide) and turning into a map.  Very interesting.  Nice follow up to the Gapminder video.

This is one of our stops during the Australia trip.  New technologies enable museums to create learning experiences for teenagers where they can authentically research, create, communicate and collaborate. Museum Victoria is using 21st century communication technologies to support students to investigate the past, both online and onsite. This session will outline how two programs developed by Museum Victoria, Making History and 600 million years in 60 seconds, are transforming museum learning for 21st century learners. The new programs enable teenagers to collaborate with their peers, communicate their ideas, create new digital media and make sense of the world around them. 600 million years in 60 seconds is an onsite education program at Melbourne Museum where exhibition objects are the learning focus and ICT tools are used by students to communicate their understanding of key concepts. Making History is an online resource where experts share historical knowledge and experience as well as an online gallery that can host student generated digital histories.
