I recently attended ICQI and attended a session conducted by Judith Davidson and Silvana diGregorio (who will have a chapter in the newest edition of The Handbook of Qualitative Research). They suggested many of the tools we already use in class as well as some new ones! Here are the ones that I would like to look into:
a.nnotate- A tool to annotate and share documents or images online
Everyday Lives- A tool to document the everyday lives of your participants (audio, video, images)... the best part? There's an iPhone App!
Word Tree- Sort of like a word cloud, but this tool allows you to select a word or phrase and then creates a tree of how that word or phrase is used.
Phrase Net- Diagrams the relationships between different words used in a text
Also, for the record, I learned that you can now annotate youtube videos! Flickr also has great annotation.

I hope this is the correct place to make comments...
The primary reason for taking this course is, well, I have never taken a technology course. Knowing that a majority of my research interests will deal with people data rather than number data, I know this class will pay dividends. Despite my fear in facing the vast, developing world of 'tech'-stuff', this article advocates embracing what is available. I need to familiarize myself with what resources are currently exist.
I plan to utilize online data storage for research and dissertation purposes. I think it is safe and cheap! I also found the discussion on digital research journals interesting. The tools that are available today will enable qualitative research to 'come alive' whereas previously, it has been limited to text and journals. Such technology will create a more vivid portrait of one's endeavors.
Finally, the article was a bit reassuring. I do have some basic concepts of HTML, PDF, and 'techy' words. Perhaps there is hope for me.
