Top 100 Tools for Learning

This is actually another educator's commentary on the Top 100, but she also has the top 100 slideshow embedded into her post. I went ahead and linked to her blog instead of directly to the slideshow because she has some helpful comments elaborating on some of my favorite tools. Looking at this list did overwhelm me a bit, but it gives me a good resource to pick one new thing to try!
