MLA Conference 2010: Top 5 (or more) Online Tools

Presenter: Denise from MLNC

Jog the web is where the presenter's presentation is located. Search for dtksmile and find all of her presentations.

Top 5 (or more) Tools
1. Jogtheweb.com
2. Yolink - will keep searching in the background as it looks through all the results.
Adds some boolean searching, will highlight all the search terms.
3. Next Vista For Learning - an online library of free videos. Lightbulb videos are put there by students and teachers.
4. Creative Commons - A way to license your works to share with others. This is another form of publishing. Can also use without having to ask for permission.
5.International Children's Digital Library - Books available in different languages. Nothing flashy, but good quality children's literature.
6. Google Search Features - able to get weather, conversion charts, etc.
7. Learning Express Library - practice for multiple tests
8. Symbaloo - allows you to organize your bookmarks with a visual organizer. Looks like app icons which are becoming more popular.

Good session, just some technical difficulties. Looking forward to getting home and trying some of these out.
