**There are so many different tools available and they are all excellent. Which makes it very difficult to decide what to use and when. Here are some examples of my favourites and how they could be used in education.**

Essential Tools [|googledocs]. Students can work collaboratively on a variety of different documents, from answering questions and assessing each others answers to creating online surveys and displaying the results as graphs and charts. [|wordle] Fantastic for plenaries, ask the students to create a word cloud using all the vocabulary associated with the subject...Brilliant displays and revision lists in minutes.

[|befunky] This site uses some of the best Photoshop tools to allow you to quickly and easily edit pictures. Students could produce individual logos for uploading to wikis or webpages.

[|diigo]  Organise your resources, at the start of the school year introduce the IB students to this programme and make sure they use it! Especially good for the ITGS students to prepare for the Portfolios.

[|Jing] Allows you to take screenshots and record a video of onscreen actions complete with a narrative. An excellent way of assessing what your students can actually do, set them a task eg. create a chart on a spreadsheet, and then play the video to see how they get on.

[|Jigzone] Create jigsaws from pictures or drawings. Particularly popular with younger students, they can upload pictures they have created in Paint and turn them into jigsaws.
