My top ten tools for learning: version 2008.
dr.curry @ March 10, 2008
For Twitter to not be included, I’m assuming either (a) you haven’t tried it or (b) you haven’t used it enough to find the substantial edtech community that learns with that tool.

* Twitter
* Delicious Network
* Blogs/RSS Feeds - the EdTech Blogosphere I read.
* iTunes - all about the podcasts.
I see more new things - edtech and personal enrichment - and learn more about my colleagues via Twitter than any other tool. Nothing comes close.
So, how long will it be before I see http://www.twitter.com/jhcthree?

Chris,
First of all, how’s the dissertation coming? You know, I’ve got to ask . . .
I haven’t jumped on the Twitter bandwagon because a) I don’t have an account (yes, I know I can set one up) and b) From what I understand (and I’m probably wrong) don’t you have to text from your phone or something? Man, I don’t have texting on my phone because I’m too CHEAP.
You know me . . .
hi - thought you might add twitter - i have been following a couple of people including Andy Powell, Roy Tennant, etc — and their posts in twitter have been quite informative — so i mainly use twitter as a continuing education tool
I’m curious that you have ignored Twitter - even when prompted. It’s a mircoblog with lots of multiple access plugins - not restricted to phone use.
Okay, Dave and Lisa.
I’ve created a twitter account: http://www.twitter.com/dctrcurry/
Now, how do I follow you or those you think I would find interesting?
I like how most of your favorite tools are in fact social in nature. Most instructional applications leave out the social element.
Man, I’ve heard people suggest twitter as an instructional tool before. I even have some friends developing http://www.edmodo.com as a kind of educational twitter. But, seriously now, what’s the learning/instructional part of it?
[...] Curry, a professor of Instructional Technology at Oklahoma State University, listed his top ten tools for learning. What I find very hearting about the list is that so few are actually an [...]

Can I use your list this year to add to the Spring collection of Top 10s. The activity closes March 31st after which the Top 100 Tools Spring 2008 will be finalised.

I aspire to be a teacher one day, so it’s interesting to see how you’ve used technology. Perhaps one day I’ll be making a list of my own with whatever technology exists when I end up as a teacher!
Thanks for the interesting post!
Hi,
Please have a look at Flowchart.com. It’s a realtime multiuser collaboration flowchart software which students will appreciate. We have many college students using this as part of their curriculum.
Thanks

Diigo (www.diigo.com) is a huge improvement on del.ici.ous, offering the opportunity to highlight sections of a saved document and append a sticky note as well. It has caught fire in the education community.
