"DON'T SETTLE FOR CRAPPY APPS"

Sometimes you come across a tool and think HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?! That is exactly what happened to me today when I discovered [thanks to an awesome listserv] AlernativeTo.

AlternativeTo provides a new, crowd-sourced approach to finding technology tools and applications! Simply type in the application you are looking to replace and AlternativeTo will provide you with alternatives based on user recommendations!

I cant not tell you how many times I have Googled "replacement for ..." or "alternative to...". Even when I am relatively happy with a tool or service, I am constantly looking for ways to improve the tools and apps we offer our teachers!  I cannot wait to use AlternativeTo next time I am looking for a replacement tech tool.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
