I recently checked out the list of "The Top 100 Tools for Learning 2012" (see link below) and was very surprised at how many of them I use during the week. I would venture to say that of the 100, I use 23 of them on a regular basis and most are used for education in one way or another.
I am a huge fan of Twitter and was was not surprised to see it ranked #1 in 2012, but I was somewhat surprised to see that it has been ranked #1 since 2009 as well. That speaks volumes to the value of the program, given how much change takes place in our digital world.
As a single PE teacher in a small school not really close to bigger areas, I sometimes have a hard time collaborating with other PE teachers or attending state and national conferences. Through Twitter I can interact with teachers across the globe and participate in web chats on a wide range of topics. I also look for coaching information and ways to enhance and develop leadership in my students athletes, and even within my staff. I definitely feel it plays a large role in my growth as an educator.
Are you an educator? Check out the list by clicking on the link below - how many do you use? Are there any tools that you use on a regular basis that you feel strongly about? Let me know...
Make it a great day!
