They include desktops, mobile devices (e.g. laptops, tablets, ultramobiles, mobile phones, smartphones, PDAs, game consoles), interactive whiteboards, datalogging equipment, digital recording devices (e.g. cameras, flipcams, voice and video recorders), Web 2.0 technologies and other resources on the Internet (e.g. information and multimedia resources, communication and collaborative resources such as Skype, Moodle, Edmodo, Popplet, blogs, glogs, wikis, concept-mapping tools such as SpicyNodes and cMap and storage spaces such as Dropbox or SkyDrive) and the variety of software packages for learning that are either commercial, downloadable for trial for fixed periods of time, or are totally free and accessible from the Web.
