Week 9, Thing 20

I found teachertube to be fun to explore and could spend many more hours... but must stay focused! I tried to embed a video, but it didn't work on first try. The video is on site under Aug. 9 posting.

Week 8, Thing #19

I created a LibraryThing account and a list of books I enjoy or will read.

Week 8, Thing #18

 

Zoho is an exciting possibility.  Yesterday, I digressed for about 3 hours and created a zoho wiki for my family. This class definitely takes too much time.  Staying focused is the key.  For a techno novice, I am struggling to get through these lessons with at least a general idea of the possibilities. 

Week 7, Thing #17

I posted a comment under wikis.

Week 7, Thing #16

As I investigated the wikis presented in this lesson, I was impressed by attraction/distraction of the sites. Creating a wiki just to have one is a waste of everyone's time, but having a viable, interesting site is very helpful. I loved the Ann Harbor site created by high school students. It was enticing and the information very useful for visitors or new residents. Meredith's list of things she learned while creating the 2005 ALA wiki is also very helpful. Creating a wiki for a specific audience keeps the content viable. I have started a wiki for my school library and can use these examples of best practices.

Week 6, Thing #14

Technorati has taken a few hours of exploring. I am quite excited to have added several blogs to my account. Since I am not a blog reader, this is an expansion to my techno horizons.

Week 6 Thing #13

I viewed two instructional videos on using del.icio.us. I will need to return to this site and think about how to use it for students and personally. After viewing my long list of "favorites" in Explorer, defintely some clean-up work is needed.
