I’m a big fan of toolboxes, kits, and what not. For years I kept an “Emergency Beach Kit” in the car. Now that may seem silly but we live on the coast and with little kids it’s always good to have a change of clothes and other things the kids might need if we have a free afternoon and pass too close to a beach.
I follow a similar practice with my work, keeping lists of tools and resources handy for common tasks and areas of my work.
I have included a number of links to various tools that I use in the different capacities of my work.
They are broken down into the following categories:
Instructional Design Toolkit: This is a collection of the tools that I personally use and recommend for instructional design work and information on when I use them.
Online Course Evaluation Toolkit: These are the resources that I personally use when evaluating online courses for clients and friends as well as some information on the process.
Technology Planning Toolkit: I get called into K12 school districts from time to time to help them develop an instructional technology plan. Here are the exact resources I use and an overview of my process. It’s a common one so feel free to steal away.
