As our colleague Clive Shepherd often says, the methods for learning are timeless but the media for learning are changing rapidly and as L&D professionals, it can be tough going to keep up to date!
So how do others manage it?
Well, Jane Hart at the Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies has been talking to 545 learning professionals across the globe to find out their top tools for learning & has compiled the list in her fabulous Top 100 tools for learning for 2010.
This list was compiled on the 17th of October this year and whilst it reflects the tools most likely to be used by the technically savvy L&D professionals it provides a fantastic starting point for many.
As an added bonus 77% of the tools in this list are free!
The top 10 for 2010 are:
- Twitter, Microblogging tool
- YouTube, Video sharing site
- Google Docs, Office collaboration suite
- Delicious, Social bookmarking tool
- Slideshare, Hosting presentations
- Skype,Instant messaging/VoIP
- Google Reader,RSS / Feed reader
- Wordpress,Blogging tool

As we start to use these tools ourselves, our confidence in using them to support others increases so do check out Jane's list and try something different today!
