Oh my gosh! I just got these comments in my reader and didn’t realize you guys had commented. Marca, I guess everyone knows about dropbox now:) Eduleadership – LOVE LOVE LOVE your list! Thanks for commenting:)
Geoff – Scott will have to be our expert with the BB. I bet he could show you so love in that area! I have no idea. I sometimes have blackberrty envy, especially since I have seen some pink ones:)
If you are still listening after our long hiatus…THANKS!

Thanks for sharing this list – I agree heartily with your recommendations.

My picks and comments, from your list:

21. Twitter – constantly
20. Headphones – I like the iPhone earbuds. I wish the mic worked with a computer.
19. Dropbox – I mounted iDisk (via MobileMe) on both my laptop and (Windows) desktop.
18. Double monitors – had to take one home, as I already have two computers on my desk, and three screens was a bit much. Handy, though.
17.Google Reader – daily
16. Netbook/portable laptop – my MacBook Pro is indispensable!
15. Evernote – great for saving emails for future reference, too
14. scanner – I use a Brother multi-function color laser with a duplexing scanner. Huge, but incredibly useful.
13. Tweetie – agreed – I use Tweetie constantly. The list support in Tweetie 2 is nice.
7. Remember the Milk – I used RTM for years (and wrote some of the first GTD tutorials for it, which are now offline). I use OmniFocus now, both the Mac and iPhone versions.
4. Delicious – I still use it, but Twitter and Google Reader have reduced the need for Delicious
3. Tweetdeck – Twhirl still does the job for me, though it’s showing its age
1. iPhone – The Exchange/MobileMe support is killer. I could not schedule my workday without the iPhone calendar. I can always answer the “are you available at…” question on the spot.

Great list, and great podcast – thanks!

Hey Scott and Melinda,

How about some talk about Blackberry? I understand you’re Apple fans, but near complete omission of bb and it’s potential for changing the daily lives of principals is a travesty! My bb does nearly everything an iPhone does plus it’s got a better camera, a full qwerty key board,and wifi.

Give blackberry its due! There is no way it has less potential than a 4×6 picture printer for changing daily tasks!

You should really share these with your teachers! I just filled a 3rd flashdrive today and was looking for just a tool like Dropbox. I was just checking my google reader and noticed you too had a new podcast. So while I listened to you share your new tech tools, I explored some of your suggestions. I like it much better than my google docs (I think). Can you give me some pros and cons for using one over the other?
