So called "Low Threshold Applications"

Came across this piece of jargon today, defined as:

"A Low Threshold Application (LTA) is a teaching/learning application of information technology that is reliable, accessible, easy to learn, non-intimidating and (incrementally) inexpensive."

(from The Teaching, Learning and Technology group/ which has a list of 50 ideas/tips/applications/little tutorials, though with an American focus.

Anyway, the emphasis is on things that are easy to learn, easy to use, free or cheap,or likely to use things that are already on your computer.

Please tell us what you'd add to this list....


Got this one from Learning Times, an online community of teachers.
