Building a toolbox

I asked my Personal Learning Network on Twitter to suggest to me the 'indispensible IT tool' that they are using in school. In a 15 minute period I had 29 suggestions from 20 different people - and THAT ladies and gentlemen, shows the potential of Twitter to be much more than a microblogging facility for the vainglorious.

Anyway, here's the list (attributions at the bottom) and I'll flesh this post out as the weekend develops (as this will be used as a resource at the conference I am attending).
