I appreciate Jane’s use of the term “learning professionals”, and many of us who are part of that group are not early adopters when it comes to digital resources.  So, I think it’s really helpful to have the opportunity to check out what other people are finding most useful in their work.  That’s why I recommend that you check out Jane’s evolving Top 100 Tools for Learning 2009 and her 25 Tools: A Toolbox for Learning Professionals (2009 Version).

For the record, my own top three tools at the moment are: Firefox, because with available addons, it is by far the most accessible browser I’ve come across; Google Reader because it offers a convenient and organized way for me to track the blog posts that power my learning curve; and the wiki because I find wikis to be incredibly versatile and useful for countless purposes.  (I’m most familiar with the wiki platform offered by  PBWorks.)
