Top Ten Tools
1. iGoogle: A great place for all my feeds. For students, they can easily customize the page for their needs AND place our widgets on the page.
2. Twitter: I receive so much information from Twitter. New ways to get information into the hands of students by posting on our website too. twitter/bvwlibrary twitter/beccamunson
3. Google Reader: Makes my life easier. Would like students to use it more – but we are getting there.
4. Audacity: Great for student projects. Free. Easy to use.
5. Edublogs: We have several blogs – for students and staff. BVWest Reads, BVW Productions, BeccaBlog, Jag Stacks
6. Delicious: Keeps me sane as I organize my finds and research what other people are doing. Next year, we are moving all our links for the library projects to delicious.
7. Voicethread: A tool our teachers have really embraced especially our social studies teachers.
8. Widgetbox: Love this site to create widgets and apps for iGoogle and Facebook. However, it is now fee-based.
9. Slideshare: Collaborative. Takes a powerpoint inside the walls of the school and makes it available to anyone, anywhere. I think students get that…
10. Wikispaces: Way to publish projects, easily collaborate with others.
Others to add: Animoto, Toondoo, Wordle, iMovie, Voki, Ning
