Activity 17 Delicious

After spending alot of Sunday doing these activities this was favourite. I loved exploring delicious: Bookmarked 100+ google tricks to save you time at school and wow! I've been trying to tell my students that research is more than typing the question in the tool bar and getting an answer. However the more I discover through this course the more tools and opportunities available not only to my students but also for me as the teacher. All of which I had no idea about.

activity 16

Loved the tutorial from pallinet. Loved how I could take it at my own pace and gave me time to digest information. Control over the information you want to read. Receive it when and how you want.

RSS Feed

I'm surprised how easy it was to set up the feed.
But just another gadget for me to explore.
I think when I finish this course I'm going to have to sort out what I will really use the most.
This is going to change the way I look for information.

Activity 13 and 14

Facebook and Myspace!
Had recently joined facebook before I started this course and have spent alot of time exploring.
After logging on to myspace as well I think I prefer facebook. That should be no surprise as the the students in my class told me that facebook is for "old" people and myspace is for "young" people. Still a little nervous about posting somethings on facebook, I think I'm a bit too conservative and like my privacy. The best thing is catching up with people you haven't seen since school.

Flickr activity! Wow I did it.
I loved exploring all the photos on flickr.
It took me a while connect to my blog but I'm amazed I did it.
I loved the six step model to explain Flickr. It was simple and straight forward. Also loved the Moo cards. What a great idea.

Activity 11.

Library activity.
Looks great for librarians but I'm not a big book reader. Will need to come back to explore this activity.

activity 10

Loved the image generator! Couldn't go past the jellymuffin site. I did create a cartoon image and added text but had trouble uploading to my blog. Tried a couple of times using the instructions given about edit Html but only a lot of text got copied. Love some advice about what I'm doing wrong.
