Listing of open source tools.

Supercool. Can't wait to input some words and try this out.

National Writing Project (NWP) has many helpful resources. You should know about this website.

Infographics--lots of good information.

Blog about tools for drawing diagrams--free ones as well as paid ones. I particularly like (Inspiration--$ because you can hyperlink and save as a Word document with hyperlinks too--as well as bubbl.us--free.

Scholastic website with lots of tools and curriculus for 4-12th grades. Digital curriculum to flesh out your units of study.

The information page for SYNC has been launched.\nhttp://www.AudiobookSync.com\n\nWhile Audiobook Community's SYNC group NOW holds conversations about children's and YA audio, it WILL hold free YA Literature audiobook downloads starting 7/1/10.\n\nIf you are a Librarian, Educator, Blogger, or any other kind of grand communicator please visit this page to grab tools to tell your readers about SYNC's July 1 launch.\n\nThere are downloadable posters, bookmarks, images, copy, and web pages here:\nhttp://www.audiofilemagazine.com/sync/info.html\n\nAnd a zillion thanks for spreading the word!\n

Share files--drag and drop--no sign up.

Good blog on getting started with a basic tool box (e.g., collaboration tools).

Henry Jenkins, MIT, issues with digital literacy not allowed in schools nor is collaborative learning, school issues--lack of access to Youube, etc

You can use these images from Pics4Learning without violating copyrighting.

With Loupe (free) you can group photos into a shape--this has potential for students to demonstrate knowledge on specific topic. You can enter text as well.

iPad apps for early literacy.

Very easy to use writing prompt/storyboard web page

iTunes educational technology podcasts.

I am bookmarking this because as I try to convince many teachers of the importance of diigo as a learning tool, this outlines WHY so nicely!

LOVE this!

Can use pictures, words, etc for brainstorming. Free.

I like this so much better than bubbl.us! It's so much more visually appealing!

Great site for making mind maps and doing online brainstorming. Able to be exported and shared with others. Great tool for teacher collaborators and for kids! Super easy to use

New features on diigo.
