Thing 23

Dear Joan and Maureen,


Thank you for taking on this daunting task. I hope the other members were better at accomplishing the tasks. I have enjoyed learning about all the technology available to educators and students. When I am able to discuss some of the offerings with others and I can sound like I know what I am talking about I feel proud. Thank you ladies. May last postings were after the 26th, but I hope they still count. I did lose a few days when my account was locked up.


My favorite quote is from my son who teachers Ed. Technology at the University of Georgia. " How come older people say that technology confuses or frustrates them, but somehow they manage to get the picture of the grandchild/ren as their wallpaper."

Thing22

Was able to open the wiki account. Not sure where my link posted. This seems to be the problem I have been having. I post links but one even locked up my blog. My Avitar is marching to Pretoria, but she does not show up on the screen.

Thing 21

Wiki is much better than email, because everyone in the group can see and/or read/write a message a the same time. In this way there should be less comfusion. Students could use this for group work in computer labs or alternate sites. Very useful tool.

Thing18

Podcast is an excellent experience. I will definitely use this feature in the future.

Thing 18

I enjoyed Zoho more that Slideshow. I would definitely use this a part of a presentation. Some of these Things are so intresting. I have printed out the places I have been with this program and I intend to revisit then again.

Thing 19

completed this from home but do not know what happened to my blog response. This was not my favorite Thing. I have completed more that were more exciting and applicable.

Thing 20

OMG, I love ebooks!!!!!!!!!!!. It was so exciting to see what the students had available to them at Kellogg as well as what is available from iother sources. WOW

Thing 16

Hi,

I am back on track and hopefully will be more successful completing the tasks. Went to 30 boxes and was in heaven it presented my with everything I would want in one program.. Thanks

Thing 15

This was one of the easiest activities. I was able to enter / post information and go on the the Google Doc Live. I could see where this would be helpful for monitoring a class assignment to track progress- similar to what is being done with this assignment. This would be helpful in sharing with peers or department members as well.

I enjoyed this thing.

Thing 14

I truly enjoy social networking through Facebook, but having 17 students ask for friend status was a little unnerving. I did not accept their requests. I joined Facebook as a way to keep in touch with my children. I generally communicate through email, but I like being able to read their quick postings. For me Facebook would not be my primary method of communication, too open to the public

Thing 13

I selected Delicious as my social bookmarking program. Although the other program has some features i truely liked i.e. posted notes, I still liked Delicious better.

Thing 12

I forgot my Yahoo account info, so I created an account for my husband and bookmarked and tagged under his name. Sorry but I wanted to keep moving forward. When I get my Yahoo account info I will reented the bookmark. But, I can social network his information and enter in to the bookmarks that way. Learned many things through this aspect of the 23 Things. Can not wait to learn what is next.

Thing 11

Posting through the Layout Tab was easy. I selected a useful widget. There was an education widget on the other page which I will revisit as I continue with the tasks.

Thing 10

TWEETED!!!!!!!!!!!! Found someone I knew, so they got the tweet.
Web 2008 was interesting to visit.

Thing 9

The Web 2.0 and advancements in technology have provided opportunities for students which were not available eariler. Unfortunately, these advances have presented challenges with respect to what should and what should not be posted.

Thing 8

I posted the You Tube selection to the blog.
Still trying to navigate all the unusual things
I am learning through this program.

Thing 7

YouTube - is so extensive!!!!!!Just reviewing the Newington portion is overwhelming.
Joined YouTube and it feels natural.

Thing 6

FLickr would be a useful tool for teachers especially when comparisons are being taught. Commercial photographs can be uploaded for this purpose. One example would be historic photographs of town and recent photographs can be viewed for comparisons.
A photograph can help a student write a thousand words.

Thing 5

Found Flickr equally easy to use as Snapfish, which is the family choice. Have uploaded picture to blog "baby Wesley" Agust 25,2009.

Thing 4

I used my Juno homepage as the one to revise. It was interesting to learn what could be added and what could be removed. I was happy to be able to reduce the items viewed when the home page opens. The custom home page seems to have helped the speed of my computer. The home page now comes right up.

Thing 3

Another milestone passed! I was amazed at the number of blogs available to read.
having a three year old granddaughter with a blog I an proud to be able to say I have one too.

The blogs presented for review contain a wide and impressive variety of information. I am impressed at what can be found in blogs.

Thing 2

Thing 2

If this is the future then I am happy to be able to be a part of the process.

Thing 1

Not quite sure what I created, but after it was done it looked OK. The avatar I created is OK but not sure I wanted it posted with the picture of my granddaughter.

You Tube

This is a good You Tube




Hope you enjoy
