Thing 11

This could be useful but I am not so sure that I would keep up with it-I rarely do book clubs and I had trouble listing some of my favorite books-I even used title and author and some still could not be found.
I did enjoy75 Book Challenge and What are You Reading-I could see myself checking in with them from time to time.
I'm always with a book or several.

Thing 10 part 2

woodle is so much fun-I just printed out a new cover for a national report-I will def. use this one in my classroom but only in English-I must know what words they are using.

Thing 10

I love the comic strip site-I can see 6th graders creating some really funny things. For my pre-ap class, I could see then working with glogster to create a graphic image which they could then turn into something else. Some of the other like image chef was just too cute for me.
http://www.comicstripgenerator.com/ this is the comic strip
See mine below art of the day!

http://www.glogster.com/ is glogster

Thing 9

I liked Syndic 8 and added a site called Free technology for teachers to my google reader and igoogle (yes it is still there! Just hope I can still see the cool google logo changes on special days)
I thought topixnet was too weird-don't need my students to be reading about what a homosexual demon is-don't think this is an appreciate site.
Too many of these just didn't look that interesting.
I will use Atomic learning-I found this to be by far the best site of the one's you suggested.

Thing 8

Just talked to my sons-both use RSS in their work so i am glad to have learned something new. did try on the 4th to add a few sites but it didn't work so I need to go back and reread the directions.


I can see where RSS could help core teacher to keep up with the latest information. As for me, I prob. wouldn't use it that much but I did add it to my igoogle page which won't go away!
I found searching for sites to be a bit harder than the video claimed and some things open wihile others don't. I do believe that I will need to use it more to fully understand.
As a visual learner-I get real frustrated when I can't have written instruction in front of me. Don't show me a video or tell me how to do something and then expect me to remember the steps-I need to see it and do it before I get it!!!!!

So far I like the playing card the best and the add ons for a blog. Just wonder if anyone is out there looking at this.

Thing 7 part two part two AGAIN!

Ok now the freezing bit is becoming a pain-I just did another update but now-igoogle froze so I need to figure out how to get rid of it.
igoogle did put this link on my page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFAVxaEc9JQ.
If you haven't seen Francois Macre's version of Jackson's Thriller-then you are missing a great take off on this popular song.
I would keep igoggle but I can't keep re-starting.

Thing 7

I thought igoggle was pretty cool until I realize that it had taken over my computer and then everything froze hmm not cool. Not sure if it is my wireless of the distirct Dells, but my locks up why too often.
Picasso is a great web way to share pictures-I have lots of friens who send me their summer pics this way and it is easy to view.
