Thing #11

I liked part of LibraryThing. I have done something similar to this for another class. Kids and teachers can share what they are reading and recommend to friends.
The groups were a mess. I hit several of them and it was basically a blog. I even typed in a search for librarians. This was the only site that I might find useful. I am not a blogger and all the posting were overwhelming to me.

Thing #5

Looking through Flickr was fun. I tried to do this from school and of course it was blocked.
The picture I chose was of these cute kids reading on a billboard and another kid in front of the billboard was trying to read what was in the picture. Really cute!!!!
I got this photo from Attribution License. mailto:Tom@HK is listed as the source.

Thing #10

Here is what I created on online image creator. This was fun. I tried to do other things with it, but did not have a picture of myself to work with. Since I was working without a picture, I chose happy face generator. http://www.happyfacegenerator.com/

I can see where kids would really have a good time with this. There are so many was to be creative. This can be utilized with the art classes as a collaboration attempt.

Thing #9

I was very confussed searching for blogs. My most favoite way to search for blogs to add to email was just to do a search through google reader. The ones given to us through library2play were too overwhelming.

Thing #8

I just added 5 new RSS links to my email address. This is a newsreader that will aleart me when a new blog has been posted. I am not a huge fan of blogs. I am not sure if this is something that I would be interested in. However, the people that subscribe to blogs may love this. I think that students could use this within the school as a search for information on subjects that they are learning.

Thing #7

I revisited my igoogle page and made some changes. I really liked playing and adding things to my homepage. I think that kids would really like making this unique to themselves. I also took a look at google doc. This seemed very cool. I can see where each team could access and edit an online document. The creator creates a document and saves it to the doc. An email is sent to the other team members allowing them to edit where needed.

Thing #4

Well, I had registered a blog a while back and am looking forward to adding to it daily or at least every few days. I am working on a project for school and am a bit scared. He we go!!!

On to Flickr....
