Top 100 Tools for Learning
Above is a link to a worldwide survey, taken last year that ranks the most useful tools for learning in the modern age. This annual ranking (completed in October of last year) was voted on by over 500 professionals. As a disclaimer, they define a learning tool as, "..a tool to create or deliver learning content/solutions for others, or a tool for your own personal or professional learning."
At the top of the list you find obvious appliances such as Google Docs, WordPress, and Dropbox. What intrigued me most about this list was the fact that Twitter and YouTube are ranked first and second overall. YouTube is known by most as being a source of entertainment, however the amount of "how to" videos put out by teachers can answer any students questions they might have. If anything, this list helped me comprehend how vast of a category online learning tools are.
