Thing 10

I really had fun with this. Problem is I am so tired of being on the computer my imagination sux. So I scanned a picture from our family portraits this past Christmas and made a family trading card. Now you can see what my kids look like.

Thing 8

I have made my Google Reader public. Look for it on the sidebar.
What do you like about RSS and readers? It makes it easy to gather thoughts and spewings about things that interest you or your readers.
How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your school or personal life? Probably wouldn't use it in my personal life, right now I am just too busy with school to have a personal life, but could do something like a homework page for parents or link to your school library.
How can libraries/teachers/administrators use readers or take advantage of this new technology? Like the Library2Play site says, "Sharing information is a key component for 21st Century life-long learners ..."

Thing 7

I have used Google Earth several times. The students love being able to see where they live in "real time". I usually start with the school and go out from there, being careful to never show them where I live. LOL
I also liked the calendar. I am forever trying to find a calendar that I can use and that will keep me organized. Of course now I need an organizer for all my calendars.
More to come!
READ! (I am currently reading Charles and Emma, thanks Laura! Good read for those who are interested.)

Thing 6

Finally I have completed my mashup. Easy to find the pictures, but I originally started with Flickr and finding pictures that show purple. Found lots of pictures but never could get them to download right to Mosaic Maker. Finally got this done. Features a picture from Kindergarten, I am the teacher in the long black skirt in the front row. Third Grade group picture, Third Grade individual picture, and after my mother chopped my hair off in 5th grade.

More later, chicas and chicos!

Thing 5

OMG! If you can't find a picture you need on Flickr then it probably hasn't been taken. Get a camera and take your own at that point. Very easy to maneuver and use. Make sure you watch which category you are getting your pictures from in case you have to document or cite your work.

Later chicas and chicos!

Thing 3

Well, it only took me 3 nights to get to this point. I am hearing the Beatles in the back ground singing about a little help from my friends. You guys are just so great to work with. The whole process has been a learning experience and while I might have eventually done it on my own, I didn't have to. Even the teacher was having trouble but we eventually got in and got the blog created and up and running. I have been on a couple of other blogs, and commented.
Good night till we meet again!
