Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed having a chance to just explore some of this great new technology! I really enjoyed using Flickr and Picnik! I thought I would leave everyone with a picture!

Rollyo

I cannot figure out how to get my Rollyo here on my blog! I have created it and to me it just seems easier to use Google or Bing. I am not a fan of Rollyo!

Web 2.0

Ok so who hasn't used Facebook or Myspace! I created a Twitter account!! I have been hearing all about it and thought well here is my chance to start one up...do I think I'll keep up with it? No! But I am following a couple celebs...such a nerd I know. I feel like I am stalking them!

Podcasts

Here are a few different ways of finding a good PodCast!

Podcast Directory

Education Podcast Network

PBS Kids Podcasts

YouTube

I am always using YouTube! There are so many great videos on there! Just today I got a link in an e-mail I thought I would share.



It's just a funny clip that teachers might enjoy!

Technology!!

I am creating a post about a technology... (week 3)... I was at Best Buy on Sunday and tried out the touch screen HP computer. I know it came out a year or so ago, but I haven't ever tried it out. It is pretty neat, but super sensitive. I was wondering if anyone else has used it or owns one? I was playing with it and dreaming about getting one and then the teacher in started thinking...How many germs were on the screen?? Yikes... I'm not sure my handy Lysol spray or Clorox wipes would be O.K. to use on it!? With all the flu and other viruses going around I quickly quit playing with the computer and got out my antibacterial lotion. Are any of you other teacher as crazy about germs as I am??

Hi there!!

This is my first time blogging...Hopefully I have this set up correctly, so everyone can read it! Hope everyone has a wonderful short week and a Happy Thanksgiving!!
