Web Tools for Different Types of Learners

If you are the parent of a child with a learning difference you know how hard it is to find just the right technology resource for your struggling student. One place you might want to bookmark is Christina Laun's 100 Helpful Web Tools for Every Kind of Learner. Laun's excellent list provides links to sites that include mind-mapping, photos, video, charts and diagrams for visual learning; podcasts, presentation tools, auditory tools, text readers, and audio books for auditory learners; and note-taking tools, interaction, bookmarking, and collaboration for kinesthetic learners. Think links like Flash Card Machine, del.icio.us, Audible, Project Gutenburg, PhotoStory, and Audacity, but keep in mind that this list was created for college students, so you'll want to be sure to check the sites before recommending them to your kids. Social networking sites are included.
