Oh no! Number 11! Top 10 Revisited!

Did I really think that I would be able to stick to only 10 top sites for teaching and learning? I should have known better for within moments of making the post, I had already thought of another. Today I have to add number 11: RCampus, a site where I made a rubric this morning for the Prezi presentations a group of science students are doing tomorrow. I can see that this site definitely have the potential of being one of my top 10.

I'm having a "what about" moment!

Having posted about my top ten web applications, I've just thought of another, which I really can't leave out. So, I am going to take out Twitter and replace it with
Jog The Web! When rethinking it, I decided that though I find Twitter really useful, it is probably less so for classroom teachers. So the list is now:

Top Ten
1. Netvibes
2. Diigo
3. Prezi
4. Noodletools
5. Jog the Web
6. Glogster
7. Wikispaces / PB Works
8. Blogger
9. Google Docs
10. Wallwisher / Wordle

Diigo List for IL Workshop

One of my favorite web applications is Diigo. With it I organize my bookmarks and share them with others. Often, I will set up a Diigo list for a particular research project and the students are given the link so that they can use the sites on the list as their jumping off point. Today I discovered that I can put a list in a blog post directly from Diigo. Thus, the list below!

• YouTube - Connections: Maps

  Metropolitan Museum of Art curators talk about maps: voice over and images only. This would be good to show teachers in IT presentation.
