This was a great assignment and lots of fun-this was my favorite Picasa like Picasso.
I can see a vaule in using Utube and teacher tube for getting information across to student in a way they know better than me!

I enjoyed this exercise and learned a lot. I checked out the travel and food, and will go back to these sites. I will use with my students two sites, Million Masterpiece and Visual Complexity Color. These two were by far the best of what was under visual arts. What a crime that an add for a paint company (Color Blender) was ranked one and it had several suggestive advertisements on it page at the top-right where my 8th graders would have zoomed in. The last site Swivel should be under business not art. I would never have included this site nor the one ranked #1. Even though Benjamin Moore paint is the best.
Have been waiting to get an ok for Million Masterpiece so I can join in and paint-so far I have not gotten a password back-but the rest of the site is worth the look.

I did not like Open Office at all-I found it to be hard to follow and very little there that I would find useful for me or my classroom. I just didn't get it. After I registered, I thought I must be on the wrong page since it was nothing like what I had read. I guess I need some one on one to get this site.
Google Doc on the other hand was much easier and right away I found all kind of documents, templates, etc. that I will use. The more I played around the more I like it and have added it to delicious. For me, this was a much easier site to use.

Anyone know how to get more than one tab open at a time?

Question

Can Google gagets be added to district web pages?? I really love the Art of the Day.

Rollyo looked great-I made my own list then the fun began when I tried to link it to this blog. Zip. I also had to get going between rollyo and what I was searching for since my computer only allows one thing opened at a time-I finally did all of my searches-pasted them to a word document, then trasferred to my roll. I also could not get it to add another person's roll to mine dispite what the video showed. Once again written directions would help more than a video.
As a result-I doubt that I would use this in my classroom althought I can see how usefull it can be-no worries about students changing the search filters on your computer.

This is cool

I'm taking care of my 94 year old father today so I showed him my blog. He was very interested in how I had added things to the computer espically when I explained how you can take a picture, download it to a computer-then print the pictures out.
His comment was "Good Night-What next". If he only knew!
