I was wondering what would be the most effective 5 tools for a learner who was just feeling their way towards some sort of Personal Learning Network. Of course, the possibilities are endless but I can see from my own experience on H817 that there is a risk of spending more time on working out how a tool works than on actually using it effectively.

Here's my top 5:

  1. Twitter
  2. Social networking tool(Google+, Facebook)
  3. Video-conferencing (Skype,Blackboard Collaborate,Google Hang-Out
  4. Joint authoring tool (eg Etherpad)
  5. Blog

I would be pleased to know your top 5! Feel free to write a comment or use this survey
