Top 100 Tools for 2012

I didn't mean to copy the professor's example when giving this assignment, but I really did not know that I used so many of these tools listed! Before I looked at the list, I made my own list of important tools that I use for learning- it ended up being a really long list.  In the end, I couldn't come up with 100, but I came up with 67 different tools I use or have used.  All 67, such as: Twitter, Kindle, Google Docs, etc. were listed, but there were many tools that I had never heard of.  For example, Ning, a community platform that is used in "Personal/Professional learning/productivity, in Education and/or in the Enterprise."  The bolded letters are used as a reference point for each of the tools listed, and each tool has one or more category checkmarked.  Overall I was not surprised by this list, but I did get to learn about new tools with very interesting names!  I was only shocked that there was a large amount of tools on the list that I had not heard of, but I will be looking into them further to help with my own educational journey.  I recommend everyone check out this website, because there might be tools listed a teacher or student did not even think to use.
