Chad, thanks for weighing in. I do like books, I read a lot as well as write ;). I do read books on my iPad, instead of print, but usually when I’m reading non-fiction (either for work or for interest), I prefer print. I read loads of fiction on my iPad, but…it’s not for learning ;).

Conferences can be digital (see the LDA’s upcoming Learning Science Conference: https://ldaccelerator.com/learning-science-conference. But they’re not in my top 10 learning list.

Mac’s have a built in screen shot capability and I use it a lot, mostly to communicate (and, sadly, mostly about tech probs or bad design!). But not one of my top learning tools.

Things I didn’t include but would be near the top 10 came to me from Harold Jarche’s list such as Slack and Zoom. Which I use a lot.

Thanks for weighing in, and hope you’ve posted your own list to Jane!

Three items I’ll add to your list:

1. Books. They also don’t fit Jane’s categorization of “digital” tools, but the oldest of media still prove to be invaluable to me in offering new insights and deepening my understanding of concepts, as well as driving me to practice more with what I learn.

2. Conferences. Also not digital, but I have yet to experience a conference where I didn’t come back with some actionable idea or intelligence that made me better at what I do.

3. SnagIt. A remarkable versatile tool that does much more than just take screenshots, but even if that were all it did, its ease of use and reliability alone put it head-and-shoulders above the default tools Microsoft provides as part of the Windows OS.
