Reviews of the 25 Tools resource

"Jane Hart is a great eLearning professional because she pins down what is important and distributes it to anyone who is interested". Ignatia, 17 June 2008

Seb Schmoller reviews the 25 Tools PD resource in his Fortnightly Mailing, 13 April 2008

AlphaPlus Centre blog in Toronto Canada reviews the 25 Tools PD resource, 13 April 2008

"I highly recommend going to the site and working through the activities for any of the tools you are unfamiliar with  .." Computer Science Teachers Association, the Advocate, April 2008

"25 Tools Professional Development Programme "is one of many produced by Jane Hart. Its an interesting compilation of 'free' tools' , many of which you are probably aware of. It's a resource that's being constantly updated. Well worth exploring and getting to grips with some of these useful tools. One of the nice things about the site is that it provides you with some simple tasks so you can get an idea of what each tool does."  E-Learning Watch, 1 April 2008
