Thing #17

I think that del.icio.us is great tool to use! Teacher can use this tool to share information with students whether it be  tutorials, or a subject that is being discussed in class. Also, this tool can be useful for teachers because it is easy to share information or new technologies with co-workers. I can see myself using this tool in my future classroom. Its a great and easy tool to use and I will definitely take advantage of it in the future!

Thing #16

The start page that I chose for this activity was IGoogle. It appealed to me, number one because it was pink and number two it had the weather on it! I will make this my homepage because it is fun and also has updated news, music, and entertainment! As for the online calenders, I rally would just rather use a planner. But, the online calenders could be useful in my future classroom to allow students and parents to view the monthly calender online. I also think the to do lists are to much work. It is much easier to grab a pen and paper. For Thing #16 I liked the IGoogle and this is what I will recommended to other to add!

Thing #15

I really enjoyed this activity! I think wiki is great! I might use a wiki in my future classroom to use as a class or individual project to create a wiki and add information accordingly. Also, i might just use wiki for information for myself. What i find interesting about wiki is that there is a lot of information out there, with different point of view. I will definitely use this in the future!

Thing #14

For this activity I chose the Gliffy flow chart and MindMeister mindmap. I love Gliffy! It is an amazing website. They have everything from Venn diagrams, flowcharts, floor plans, and templates to create a website. This website is wonderful and I will definably use it in the future! On the other hand I found the MindMeister very confusing. It was just to much to put on the map. I would definitely use Gliffy in my classroom, but not so much MindMeister.

Thing #13

ZohoWriter was very interesting! But, I like Microsoft Word much better. This website seems like it is much more technical to use and takes a lot more time. This website could be used within the classroom to make teh document more interesting for the students, but I would rather just stick to Microsoft Word since that is what I am used to.

Thing # 12

For this activity I chose the Picassa web albums and the Google Calender. I really liked both of these tools. Although I like the calender I would rather use my school planner because it is easier to carry around. As for the Picassa web album,s I really liked it because it keeps track of your albums that you have online. I feel that I will continue to use the web albums but not the Google Calender.

Thing #11

The method I used was the Google search. I found this the easiest and that is what I stuck with. Some useful feeds that I found were: 1. Cool Cat Teacher Blog
                                     2. Hip Hop Wired
                                     3. EduBlog's Award Winners

I chose the three blog sites because they are informational and educational. The Hip Hop Wired tells you what is going on in the world and the other two are educational blogs. I feel that I will continue to keep up with these blogs by using my Google Reader.
