The Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies has assembled a useful survey of top tech tools for learning professionals. Jane Hart of the C4LPT compiled input from nearly 300 ed tech experts from around the globe who were asked to rank their "Top 10 Tools for Learning in 2009."
The Top 100: Full Survey Results
To get you started, here's the top 10 in order:
TwitterDelicious
YouTube
Google Reader
Google Docs
Wordpress
Slideshare
Google Search
Audacity + Firefox (tied)
The majority of the top 100 are web-based and free - great news for educators in an era of scant educational funding. New the list in 2009 are two of my favorites - Prezi (presentation software) and Wordle (word cloud generator). For ideas for on how I use these free web resources follow my links to Prezi | Wordle.
Note: The 2010 survey is being in progress. All learning professionals are encouraged to share their Top 10 tools to help build it further. Submit here. Kudos to Jane for conducting the survey. (And thanks to @russeltarr for his tweet pointing me to the survey.)
