I’ve added links to blogs of some of those who are taking the challenge at the bottom of this post. If you’d like your blog to appear, add the link in the comment box below
For 2013 why not take up this professional development challenge. This is how it works:
- Make a resolution to find out how to use 10 new tools this year (say one a month) and how they might help with your personal productivity, professional learning or development, or for use in education or training, or in the enterprise for performance support or workforce collaboration.
- You could decide all or some of them up front, or make your choices as you go through the year,
- You might like to use the Top 100 Tools list for inspiration – or just discover your own.
- Write an initial blog post that identifies your interest in being part of the 10 Tools Challenge 2013 (or record your interest in a Comment below).
- Share a link to your blog in the comments below.
- If you haven’t written a blog before you might want to make this the first tool you find out about.
- Write a monthly blog post describing your experiences with your new tool.
- Include a link to this post in each of your blog posts, so that a trackback will be recorded below.
- At the end of the year write a post reflecting on the whole experience and what impact it has had on you and your professional development. (I’ll do a review and analysis of those participating in the Challenge myself.)
If you’d like some help and support with finding out about the potential of new tools, then come and join the Top 100 Tools Club.

I would be interested in taking part in the 10 tools challenge Jane. It’s perfect timing from my perspective.
Great! I’m not going to monitor it; just support it!
Claire – do you have a blog where you will be posting about it – I’m generating a list. Let me know if you want to be included on it.
Great Idea! I will be posting on my ed tech blog.
http://amysclassroom.edublogs.org/2013/01/09/new-year-new-goals/
Great, I’ll be following you!
Thanks for the inspiration, the motivate, and the prod (by following me the motivation skyrockets knowing I am not just writing to myself! lol!).
I’m on-board, Jane, and that may be a pun from my first blog post! And, thank you for the inspiration.
Great Mike, you URL is linked to your name – so I am reposting it here for others to see http://tech2teach2learn.blogspot.co.uk/
I want to join the challenge! Thanks for the motivation, Jane. I am trying to get some others to participate with me. I have posted about the 10 Tools challenge on my blog:
http://techtalkforteachers.blogspot.com/
Good to hear, Peggy. I am now following your blog.
I have already started exploring new tools at http://mayraixavillar.wordpress.com/
and I wanr to continue doing so and be part of this challenge now because I believe it´s a great way to keep my skills updated and find creative ways to present learning content. Many thanks for this great initiative, Jane!
Thanks Mayra, I’m looking forward to following your blog.
“Challenge Accepted”
http://davidkelly.me/2013/01/join-jane-harts-10-tools-challenge/
Thanks for your post, Dave – and glad to hear you’ll be participating
Accountability – my word for the year – accepting “the challenge” as a step towards that in 2013
I like the idea but would lie to include learning how to use a tool in a new way. When talking to others I have found how to use a tool, I have been familiar with, in a different way. It is always so useful to share , even if you think that it is “old” news.
Hi Rhondda, yes exactly that – how to use a tool in a new way – or how to use a new tool to address an old problem
I will participate in the 10 tools challenge and here’s my motivation http://joitskehulsebosch.blogspot.nl/2013/01/i-will-take-10-tools-challenge-2013.html.
What is the best way to follow the other blogs? Will you repost them somewhere Jane?
Hi Joitske – I as hoping people would post their blog details here – but I will try and find a better way to collate them – Perhaps as an update on the bottom of the post itself. Any thoughts/ideas?
What a great idea! I’ll be blogging this at Virtual Learning Space!
http://virtuallearningspace.wordpress.com/
Great news! I’ll be following you
I am interested in participating in your challenge. Here is my first post: http://tubarks.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/join-me-in-jane-harts-10-tool-challenge/
Thanks I am now following you, Stan
Well I am up to the challenge and I set up a blog at http://alearningcafe.wordpress.com
and I have started with Evernote which has been a four day nightmare – I am sure it will get easier once I figure out what to do.
A great start, Pat. Pity my Quick Guide to Evernote is not yet ready in the Top 100 Tools Club to give you some ideas http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/subscribe/
Hi Jane, thanks for setting up the challenge. I’ll join in and post at http://cafechat.Wordpress.com
Looking forward to participating and learning from others. I’ll be posting @ http://barbarafillip.blogspot.com/.
Thanks Barbarar, I look forward to reading your posts
Would love to try this – great challenge. My blog is http://mrshollyexploringlearning.blogspot.sg/
Blog post will be there soon
Hi Holly – I’ve added your blog to the list. Looking forward to your first post.
I accept your challenge, Jane! A terrific way to start the new year on the right-tools-foot. http://robinheyden.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/taking-up-the-ten-tools-challenge/
Thanks Robin, I’ve added your blog to the list.
Jane, you’re on. Thanks for the challenge – it’s a great way to focus on my practice and to escape my winter hibernation. My first tool is Google+.
http://learninglately.com/2013/01/12/getting-back-to-practice-the-10-tools-challenge/
Hi Nancy, glad to hear you are on board!
@jane I guess you could ask people to use a certain tag and then aggregate all the posts somewhere using the tag to filter? I’ve participated in the Netsquared blogging rounds and they asked people to send their blogposts by email to one person.
You’re on Jane!
http://homocompetens.blogspot.be/2013/01/youre-on-jane-try-10-new-tools-in-2013.html
Great! Will be following your blog.
I would love to be part of this! Great idea!
Leave a link to your first blog post here
I had started a blog for a graduate course so I will continue using it. NEWS@MLMC
http://newsatmlmc.blogspot.com/
Looking forward to new discoveries of web 2.0! Again great idea!
Yes, I’ll take up the Challenge. I’ll start with Google+ like nslawski… here’s my blog http://learningportfolios.com/stephen
Great Stephen, I’ve added your blog to the list.
Jane, thank you for this great challenge! I’ve made my choices for 2013 and invited those in my network and learning circles to join as well.

Thanks LaDonna, I’ve added your blog to the list
I am in- my plans outlined here: http://businesscriticallearning.com/10-tools-challenge/
Thanks David
I’m taking on the 10 Tools Challenge. What an awesome development goal for 2013. I have thought about blogging for months, but it’s been kept in my head. Now, is the time for action. Thanks, Jane, for all the encouragement and tools!
Ann, glad you are on board!
I accept your challenge! http://preventiongeek.com/2013/01/17/taking-the-10-tool-challenge/
Great! I’ve added your blog to the list
I will be joining this challenge as well. Here is my first blogpost: http://www.link2learn.eu/engels/?p=1212
And I saw the question about how to be able to follow each others blogs. I don’t know how it works technically, but I join the #ETMOOC at the moment and they have collected all blogs, so we can follow each other with one RSS feed: http://etmooc.org/hub/subscribed/
Hope this example might help to see how we can do this here as well?
Thanks Sibrenne, I will look into creating a syndicated feed of all the blogs
Thanks for the challenge, Jane. I’m excited to join you at – http://salliedraper.com/blog/2013/01/22/10-tools-in-2013/
Welcome, Sallie – I’ve added your blog to the list
I’d like to participate

Welcome, Roy, I’ve added you to the list
A self-proclaimed luddite, I join you in this challenge Jane. In the Sound of Music film, Julie Andrews suggest that you “begin at the very beginning…” That is where I will intend to start. It will be a fun year of learning. Thank you!!
Great, I’ve added your blog to the list
I’m joining in the 10 Tools challenge as well. Here’s my blog: http://chipple689.wordpress.com
Thanks Chris, I’ve added you to the list.
I had planned to conduct your exercise in my own little silo, rather than commit to blog posts. Then I thought: but this would get me blogging again… http://wp.me/pEfI8-b1
I would like to take the 10 Tools Challenge for 2013. My first tool is to learn how to use a blog. I have just opened my account through WordPress.com
http://wp.me/p3eXVw-2
The above is the address of my blog.
This challenge is just what I need!
I blog here: http://alearningxperience.wordpress.com/
A little late to the party (and to adding my name) but I’m in.
