Thing 14 - Technorati

I just cannot believe how much current information is available on the internet. Yesterday, I was reading about Rafa Nadal, and today I'm reading about the death of Farrah Faucett.

These blog sites can easily be used in the classroom, but they must be used with care. They are easily tagged, that isn't the problem. My issue is: is this a valid way of hearing news? Is this stuff true. Depending on who wrote the blog, they can be extremely biased.

Thing 4? Not too easy, I thought my blog address was already entered. Hopefully I did it right this time.

Just can't seem how t move the avatar.

Thing 13

I could not open the delicious tutorial. But everything I looked at on the site that was interesting to me, seemed to be about "news." Most of this could be seen on any evening entertainment "news" show. So I would have tagged this stuff "celebrity news."

I have seen social networking sights at work in the educational setting. A teacher on my school did a history project on Facebook. I don't know exactly how it was done, but the students really enjoyed it and it seemed to enhance their learning.

Thing 12

I had no problem commenting on blogs from Library to Play, but couldn't find where to comment on the blogs from outside. I wan interested in Rafa Nadal not playing in Wimbledon and the psooibility of Roger Federrer winning and regaining his number one ranking. I was also interested in Nadal's injury. But didn't know how to post it. Will probably have to come back later.

I also realized that I was/am a lurker, I'd prefer to read, rather than comment on others' bolgs.

Thing 11

Here, I catalogued some of the books I had around, some of them were mine, but they were mostly from the library. I wish I had done this a long time ago, so I could remember what I read and what I liked. I probably would have added more notes and details than I did in this exercise.

Thing 6

These were fun. I did a puzzle out of a picture and made and image look laike a "Warhol." I also made a really cool restroom pass using Wordl, but couldn'tfigure out how to post it.

I made a pistake, these are out of order.

Thing 5

These are some pictures from my wedding. When I wasn't busy getting married, I was reading. The little guy in the second pic is my adorable nephew.

Thing 10

I used the puzzle for fun, but I could use it for maps and such to review students for LA/SS. I couldn't downloak the things I did on wordle. That sinks because I made a really cool restroom pass. Maybe next time.

Thing 8

I can't believe there is so much interesting stuff so readily available. Both in the fied of education and in my personal life. I'm sorta into celebrity gossip and weird stories.Implications for student use are many. They can use RSS when they are doing units. Since most of the subjects taught at my school used integrated units, RSS will be awesomw, not to mention eary to use.


Out of Order

Out of order.

Learning Contract Thing 2

I think my biggest obstable in becoming a lifelong learner is the fear of not knowing anythng about something. I realize the way to stop this is to expose yself to things unknown. Then, do research or ask people who know questions.I am not really worried about time or my toolbox, I have everything I need. Free time, a computer, internet and a modicum of creativity. But not too much.I was slightly worried about becoming bored, but the "things," are very varied and there are plenty of them.Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of support in doing this here at the beach, but I'm going to do my darndest.

Out of order, due to mistake.

Monday

While being my second day here, today was the first day I actually went to the beach. While at the beach. I usually chat with friends, enjoy the sunshine and/or read a book. Today, I enjoyed the sunshine and a book. It was called "Eat, Drink and Be From Mississippi." While not an awesome read, it did entertain me for the afternoon.I have to warn you, when I am on the beaach, I read beach books, no hardcore literature for the most part.

This is a little out order, because I had to fix a problem I had

Thing 9

Google Reader and Blogline's search tool were the easiest for me to use.
Syndicat8 and technaratti were more difficult.
I think because I am so used to google, that it is always going to be easier for me.

Thing 7

I used google tools and began a google calendar. They should both be effective, because I receive g-mail on my cell phone.

Thing 6

These layout choices are really cool. I made one of my husband and I. These would work great on my students projects.

Thing five

This is where my firend pic should go. Now you lucky ones can see my friend David and I twice.
