Rollyos are so cool. I am not a content area teacher, so I did a search engine for something I am interested in right now. Shopping. I put all the sites that I usually go to. I don't have to use favorites or bookmarks anymore. I'm not sure which is more time effective though.
I will use rollyos when my students are working on projects and papers. I 'll find out what reliable sources the classroom teacher wants them to use, then creata a new search roll.

Thing 16
Wow. I didn't realize what wikis were. I've used wikipedia, but that's about it. I thing they could be the most beneficical to my special education students for the collaborative notetaking. I think this could help all students.
I would have some concerns for my students using wikis as sources for research. They are too open and there is no control. What if their information isn't correct?

Thing 15
After reading a few perspecctives on Library 2.0, I have a few thoughts on some of the perspectives.
"To More Powerful Ways to Cooperate": This was interesting in that Library 2.0 can touch the entire web, worldwide. I didn't realize its impact was that global. I was interested in Open World Cat. It sounds really good and I look forward to the new search box. The social services were alsogood.
"To Temporary Place and Time": It really opened my eyes to the newer definition of "library." I have always though of a library as a place, not a community. Librarians are at the center of this community. It is a big job. I also look forward to library 4.0, although I'm not quite up to speed on Library 2.0 yet.

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.
