<br />
She compiled a <a href="http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/best-of-breed/"><span style="color: #1e73be;">BEST OF BREED 2016</span></a> list in which she categories the different tools, as well as 3 sub-lists that show the popularity of the tools in different contexts.<br />
<ol>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/top100-ppl/"><span style="color: #1e73be;">Top 100 TOOLS FOR PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL LEARNING</span></a> (for formal/informal learning and personal productivity)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/top100-wpl/"><span style="color: #1e73be;">TOP 100 TOOLS FOR WORKPLACE LEARNING</span></a> (for training, e-learning, performance support and social collaboration</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/top100-edu/"><span style="color: #1e73be;">TOP 100 TOOLS FOR EDUCATION</span></a> (for use in primary and secondary (K12) schools, colleges, universities and adult education.)</li>
</ol>
To get an overview of how the tools in these 3 Top 100 lists fit into the Top 200 list, she has also created a comparison table in this <a href="http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/top-200-quick-view/"><span style="color: #1e73be;">QUICK VIEW</span></a>.<br />
Which tools are new on the list or are significantly on the move compared to last year? Here are the <a href="http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/top-200-movers-shakers/"><span style="color: #1e73be;">MOVERS & SHAKERS</span></a>.<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900823339391374831.post-11340592362055278382016-08-05T08:48:00.002-04:002016-08-05T08:48:33.325-04:0048 Free Education Apps Sorted By Grade Level <br />
