Speaktoit: A friend of mine, who is legally blind, is pretty techy and likes to do things with is phone like update facebook and twitter, navigate websites, send texts and emails, etc. He’s got an Android phone an uses an app called Speaktoit Assistant. We’ve been playing with it on the weekends now for a few months and it seems to do most of what he needs his phone to do. It has an Apple version as well and they state that soon, there will be Windows Phone, Blackberry, and Bada versions. It’s about a dollar. Here: http://www.speaktoit.com/
Web 2.0 Tools for Teachers: According to Jane Hart’s surveys (a crowd-sourced vote over the last 5 years), the 5 most popular web 2.0 tools for teachers in the UK are listed below.

Make comments here on the blog and share your ideas.

And here is one that is not so well known yet, but may be worth checking out:

Daniel,
The GeoGebra program looks very cool! I’m going to show it to my numbers-conscious husband. I also think Speaktoit looks pretty neat. I have an Android phone, but I don’t think I would use Speaktoit for personal reasons unless it was free. Neat stuff!
