Top 100 tools for Learning by Jane Hart / @C4LPT

Jane Hart from Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies has created her yearly list of most popular on-line (and social media) tools for education. It is already the 6th time the polls is created.

The most popular toos this year were:

1. Twitter
2. YouTube 
3. Google Docs (Google Drive) 
4. Google Search (+11 since last year)
5. WordPress 
6. Dropbox 
7. Skype (-3)
8. PowerPoint  (+11)
9. Facebook (+5)
10. Wikipedia. (+1)

So Google is dominating the top ten with 3 services. I am little surprised that teachers like Skype and Facebook more than Wikipedia.

Sorry. You might noticed the previous blog update with no title or content but these slides (going to remove it). Sorry, had a quick finger, I meant to schedule it but pushed the wrong button. Today I am going through a SlideShare tour helped by my contacts there - they are recommending me what to watch. As I am PowerPoint super user I found this presentation nice - it helps me to create even better presentations. Maybe it helps you too...

LindaLor: How to easily extend a photo's background for #PowerPoint

I am starting a new collaboration project with Outi Lammi who has published quite many books e.g. about MS Office tools. She is such a pro I am just thrilled about this possibility! In her blog she shared a practical trick for PowerPoints and even though it is not the topic of this blog I am sharing it too. The video was made with Screenr, a service I have planned to familiarize myself soonish.

And about our project: you just need to wait... :)

Office connector @ Confluence

This is one of the features in Confluence that make me say WOW. Have not used it myself yet but it looks impressive and I think it will help many users. E.g. moving old Word documents is so simple...



PS. The people in Atlassian wanted to make sure we got the message so they are showing us the same video twice in this clip. :D
