I am a Special Education Teacher at a small
private special purpose school in Hinckley, Maine. I co-teach
high school U.S. History and English classes and teach 2
Fundamental English classes. I have used technology for many
years (Vic 20), but have only recently really attempted to
integrate it into the classroom.
Harold's Top 10 Tools as at 25 February
2008
Microsoft One Note 2007
– Simply an amazing program
that I have only been using since January and wish that
I had been using for the last 5 years. I am reducing my
paper use tremendously .
Firefox – Simple to use, very customizable and free
Igoogle – My internet start page, and what most of my
students use as their start page
Adobe
Reader – There might be others that leave a smaller
footprint or are quicker, but it still the standard
As you can see I am still pretty Microsoft centric, I have
tried many of the online versions i.e. Slideshare, Google:
Docs, Notebook , Flickr, Open Office, Buzzword, Foxit etc.
and have decided to use what works best for me, regardless
of who produces it and right now Microsoft consistently
meets my needs better than others out there
