Cool Tools for Schools


So many of us in higher education are overwhelmed by budget cuts, time constraints and more and more "to do" items. We still want to keep up with integration of technology, but there's so much out there and limited time to explore.

One of our favorite Teacher Education sites this year is Cool Tools for Schools . The site, created by a New Zealand educator, Lenva Shearing, includes many, many tools that are useful for educators. Lenva keeps up with the blog, so links work, and materials are organized in a easy to follow manner.

So, if you're looking for a Presentation tool, for instance, Lenva has linked 41 annotated sites. You can look through them and choose the tool that's right for your situation.

Be sure to read the MERLOT review to get insights into ways in which you might use "Cool Tools for Schools.

Join MERLOT and have access to Personal Collections (Cool Tools is in mine!), and the ability to post comments and use MERLOT to the fullest.

  1. Hmmm....this Cool Tools site is pretty deep. It certainly has promise. That Photo Mashup generator was pretty funny.
