Tools+Table

=Below I have inserted a table with the tools we are going to present to the group.=

Please indicate your knowledge, experience with each individual tool. This way we are able to determine who could present and talk about which tool.

L= Low (Experience/knowledge) M= Medium (Experience/knowledge) H= High (Experience/knowledge)

Sorry for the long list/page. (That's the nature of 23 things Steph - a great job thanks for you kickoff. I wanted to make comments regarding my use of some tools so chose to comment in the tool replacement column to minimise effect of table layout. Viv)

It is Vivian, hard to get 23 items into a smaller table. Just deleted the tool name column, because the name shows up under the icon anyway. Great idea to add comments and a perfect solution to add comments to the last column, thanks for that Vivian.

 * ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   || Is it worth adding Blip TV here? A lot of 'cool people' use it! ||

Yammer is a NSW DET alternative May be worth considering mentioning. Link

Yammer also used in TAFESA! || The other one I am thinking of is called ExitReality || Photopeach might be a slideshow alternative for Vista & Windows 7 users. ||
 * ||  ||   ||   || M ||   || Steph || Using twitter quiet a bit (via tweetdeck) and linked it in with FB/yammer/delicious ||
