4. GanttProject

   And for project software this is brilliant. I use it a lot and it is easier to use though perhaps not as sophisticated at Microsoft Excel. But as it costs nothing, is very stable and excellently supported I’m not complaining.

8. Keeping Abreast of Software

   Without doubt Jane Hart’s web site is one of the best to have bookmarked and visit from time to time to keep an eye on software that might have some interest and use for Training and Developers. Especially this section; ‘The Emerging Top 100 Tools For Learning 2011 List’.

9. Atmosphere

   You could always add a bit of atmosphere by adding some sounds? Works well with stories…

10. Gliffy – Free Flow Charting Web Based Software (In the Cloud as

    This is a piece of web based software that I use for producing Flow Charts and their like. Up until a couple of years ago I used Visio Flow which is Microsoft and expensive. Registering with Gliffy is free and the basic version which you can access is perfectly OK for most peoples needs. Anyway, check it out and see what you think. I use it and like it:

12. Pens

    This might be like stating the obvious to most of you but…

    I attended an external course yesterday and the course pen was one of the 4 colour types. Never had one of these on a course before but how useful for taking notes!

    The best ideas are sometimes the simplest ideas that make all the difference to a good event…

13. Good Websites

    No 3 and No 8 are very useful!
