We've (Learning Technologies Centre, University of Manitoba) put together a wiki of New Technologies for Teaching and Learning. If you're interested in blogs, wikis, aggregators, audio, video, flickr, web conferencing, and social book marking, these wiki pages are a good starting point. They've been put together with the intent of providing a quick overview of the technology...and basic uses in teaching/training/learning environments. The resources extend and support the Personal Learning Environments symposium we hosted earlier this year. For instructors interested in starting to teach with technology, the process is quite simple - start with a few different tools (blogs or wikis for example) - experiment with them, add new tools as learners express interest, and stay connected to a network of researchers and practitioners who are experimenting as well (I would suggest, subscribing to Downes' OLDaily...and of course, the weekly elearnspace newsletter :) (summary of blog postings)).
