Here are the Top 100 ICT Tools for Learning 2013 –  the results of the 7th Annual Learning Tools Survey – compiled from the votes of 500+ learning professionals in 48 countries and published on 27 September 2013.  

A learning tool is defined as any software or online tool or service that you use either for your own personal or professional learning, for teaching or training, or for creating e-learning
Surprised at the results? The annual lists have also become a useful longitudinal study into how the way we learn is changing. Take a look at this article by Jane Hart, The Web is 25 years old – so how has it changed the way we learn?
