Week 5 - Thing 12

Yesterday I "rolled my own" site: "Words to Live By". It is still rudimentary but I will most likely add to it in the future. I can see a use for this type of site. I've even added it to my favorites - along with a number of other sites.

Week 5 - Thing 11

I just surfed some Nings. These look like fun, but I did not join one or create one as I barely have time to do the things I "need" to do. I'm not much on internet socializing right now - probably connected to my distaste for text messaging in some way. I don't see much educational value for these right now. Maybe later.

Week 5 - Thing 10

I did this using Image Chef. It was pretty simple once I got past the initial mistakes. This is something I can use in a lot of ways.

Here is the site: http://www.imagechef.com/ - Try it out for yourself!

Week 4 - Thing 9

There's a lot of information out there! TMI!! I'm feeling overwhelmed. Eventually, I hope to have time to truly sort through some of the feeds available and find those I will use more for the classroom than just for me.

Week 3 - Thing 7

Okay - so the next thing I'm going to try is to download a pic from my digital camera to my blog and to flickr. So far, everything I've used has been already downloaded to my hard drive. Wish me luck!

Week 4 - Thing 8 continued

Check out the bottom of my blog! I have listed my RSS Feeds and Podcast - so far! I've also added some items to the side. Way cool!

Week 4 - Thing 8

Okay - I see that I already have a Google Reader account set up. When did I do that? I am stuck - how do I find the RSS feeds to add? Do I just surf around until I find something I like and hope it has a "subscribe" button? Help!
I did manage to subscribe to Ask.com Blog and Web 2.0 but I'm static from there!

Wait! Stop the Presses! I just figured out how to add URL addresses as RSS feeds. I now subscribe to the Times Free Press news and prep sports news. I'm patting myself on the back. Okay, now I've just added the "Morning Edition" podcast. This is pretty cool stuff! I may get brave enough (later - time's almost up) to search out some more things to add.
I guess the next step then will be how to share. Later....

Week 3 - Thing 7

I did a bit of exploring during our "petting zoo" inservice. Took a look at BigHugeLabs. I think I will be going back to that one again. Also, I did the Theda Fox pic as a movie poster at Flickr Mashups. both of these have a lot to offer, so they might be truly useful as well as fun. I'm not sure yet how relative they will as educational tools, but I can see using them in presentations and projects from time to time.

Week 3 - Thing 5 - More Flickr pics

Gatlinburg - Feb. 08

I took this pic last Feb. It looks like something on a greeting card or postcard, but it was just the scenery as we drove through the park. Totally cool!

Week 3 - Thing 6 - Flickr picture

What a picture! Such a diva! This is a picture I already had that I enhanced and added to Flickr.
This technology stuff is fun
