Thing #23...Reflections!!!

1. I really like photostory and Rollyo. I think I can fine tune research with Rollyo and Photostory will make projects more fun!

2. I always feel I need to keep up with technology! I want to give my students as many opportunites to make learning FUN and meaningful. I liked learning at my own pace and having time to explore! I Know I will go back and reflect on my blog!!!

3. Once I started exploring what seemed overwhelming, was actually a piece of CAKE!

4. I liked the format!

5. YES!!!!

6. exciting! It game me lots of confidence.

7. Thank you! Thank you! I really appreciate you letting us HISDERS play!!!

Thing #22 NING

Thing #20 You tube!!!

Thing #19 Web 2.0 Awards

I really liked this well organized site. I like the Community of Moms...how fun to search for issues I am having with my own kids. I really liked the organization of the site. I love Google Maps and Google Earth. Both sites are fun and I use them in my clss all of the time.
I used Craiglist to buy and sell items a lot. Most recently I rented my house from an advertisement on Craiglist. The couple moved from Canada to Houston! They even pay using paypal! I love it!
I really am going to start using Google Docs more! I love it! I think it is very handy for me!

Thing #19 - Google Doc

I love love the idea of having FREE document site to access information. I think it is a great way to share documents, and having access to your documents anywhere without having to carry a flashdrive! YEAH!!!!
This journey is getting better and better!
Thanks!

Thing #15 - Web 2.0/Library 2.0

We spend more and more time on our computers. We depend on them everyday. WEB 2.0 tools make information interactive. I LOVE that fact that you can connect with people easily and get up to date information. Libraries have become a place to learn, share and interact. This year our "technology" teacher is moving to the library. We will have 2 people to help children. This will be an exciting year. I am looking forward to what unfolds!

Thing #14 - Why is tagging important

I value tagging...I think it's important for organization of information. I didn't like technorati all that much. Maybe because I am investigating alone and not collaborating with people. I tend to learn more when I can stop and discuss what I am looking at. I am slow with technology although I like learning more and more. It seems several others where overwhelmed with the information and websites in Technorati.
I am enjoying learning through this adventure!
