Thing 17

How can you organize your searches any easier. With rollsearch I set mine up for several areas I am interested in. Setting up an account was the hardest part. Now you do not have to rely on just the old standards yahoo!!

Thing 16

I think the potential for Wiki is unlimited. But I do have a concern, teachers already feel stressed with all they have to do now. Maybe we could have an inservice on Wiki which would be helpful. Teachers sharing ideas on a site brain storming new techniques and skills could be GREAT! I am just concerned with the time factor.

Thing 15

I had not thought about there being only one librarian at the school were I work, and her responsibility is to all 2200 student and 200 teachers/aids. She has to be a guide for all our needs. Library 2.0 will certainly help but there will always be a need for a librarian. Policies must change and students will need to be held responsible for the sites they visit.

Thing 14

I used Technorati and see how you can organize your information. What an easy way to group your information. I wonder how useful it will be for different disciplines. Maybe I can get some feed back to help me.

Thing 13

I explored using del.icio.us , Furl and Ma.gnolia . I can see several way to use the bookmarking in group project done during the year. Not only will it assist my students but it can help students in other classes. Being able to bookmark site and then access them from any computer will make things so much easier.

Thing 12

I think you should always treat people or blogs the way you want to be treated. Be respectful of others opinions. I have tried to blog but it just is not in my nature. I understand this is a great way to get to and give information. For me it is very difficult.

Thing 11

First time Library Thing er. I think it is a great way to share information about books. Set my book list up and looked at some of the groups for similar interests. We are always looking for new ways to introduce new ways to teach same information. Having students share book choices can help when working on reports.

Thing 10

Explored the image generator,this is one of my favorite saying to tell young people. I thought Speedy is a good person to give the advice. I want to thank all of the people who have sent comments to me helping me explore this new learning experience.

Thing 9

I found Google Reader to be the easiest. I was able to navigate most of the links with little problems. Cool cat Teacher was informative.
Technorati Tutorial showed how to us technorati but it was not in English.

Thing 8

Just signed up for google reader. One subscription to sports and there was 35 articles that showed up. It has articles from everywhere.

Thing 7

I have used Google Calendar for some time. IGoogle was something new for me. Being a teacher I added the translate to my page and I will be able to use this with student who come in the room ESL. I have a keyboarding class and sometime students are put in there because there is no other place for them. This will help greatly. I also used Google Earth!!! incredible.

Thing 6

Just spent another hour playing with new information. FD toys is a kick in the tail. Having the students research a trip say to 5 different locations. Air fare, lodging and food cost. I can see a PPT posted in Flickr, and a map created in FD toys. That is not including the spreadsheet. Lots of new stuff.

Thing 5

I found this wonderful picture of a sun set. I wish I could be there right now. I have my student do a presentation on how they think they will see themselves in 10 years. They research what they plan on majoring in college thourgh the BLS. This would be a way to have them share it with everyone in the class. Setting up a slide show for all to see would be great.

Thing 4

Got my invite to play today.

Thing 3

I think I have already spent 18 hours just setting this thing up. It is strange but for my sons college on line class I used what I have learned already

Thing 2

I enjoyed the video. My first goal would be to be able to navigate this website. My easiest will be to put what I learn in my class.
