IT Tools Intro 4 - Generating Ideas and Games

Here's a few more of my favourite IT Tools. These tools are good for generating ideas, like mindmaps, commenting on each other posts and collaboration. There's a tool which I'd like to introduce, it's a simple tool use to generate interesing games for teaching and revision.

1. Webspiration: http://www.mywebspiration.com/ - An online tool for mindmapping. The mindmap can be saved for collaboration. You can allow other users to comment and add-on to the mindmap.

2. Linoit: http://en.linoit.com/ - It's an online stickies. Pictures and videos can be added on as well and many can comment on it as long as they have access to the link. Here's an example of a science class sharing and discussion on 'Salt'.

3. ClassTools: http://classtools.org/ - A simple online tool for generating games. Fun and cool to use. It has other functions like countdown timer. Very interesting to use with students in class. Highly recommended.
