In case you have not already tuned into it, Jane Hart’s annual collection of top 100 learning tools was recently posted at
http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/. This is the 8th year that Jane has published the list, which she assembles based on input from more than 1000 learning professionals.
I’ve always found the diversity of the tools in this list to be very interesting. Since its inception, the Top 100 has pointed to the massive change taking place in how we go about learning and how we think about learning. Social and informal rule the tool list. What I characterized as Learning 2.0 years ago is simply learning now.
You can argue, if you like, that this kind of list does not apply to ordinary people – to the members and customers you serve – but I don’t think that argument holds water any longer, if it ever did. Every tool in the top 10 is used by massive numbers of people, and whether they are aware of it or not, those people are using the tools for learning in myriad ways.
It’s worth spending some time reviewing this list and discussing it with staff.
It’s worth reflecting on these tools with an eye toward how social learning matters for your organization.
It’s worth actively experimenting with a handful of them you haven’t tried.
And, of course, it’s worth noting that you’re reading this on a WordPress bog (#6), possibly after learning about this post on Twitter (#1), Google Search (#5), Facebook (#9), or LinkedIn (#10). I draft all my blog posts in Evernote (#8) and the slides above are PowerPoint (#4) uploaded to Slideshare (#15).
Please be sure to share.
