Thing 16 – Library Thing

July 14th, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | No comments

Hmmmm…  this one didn’t impress me a whole lot.  I feel a little guilty saying this because I love to read and I love books but I don’t know really how I would use this.  The best thing that I saw on the site was the Early Reviewers Books where you can sign up and [...]

Thing 15 – Del.icio.us

July 14th, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | No comments

I was already somewhat familiar with Del.icio.us but I haven’t used it much.  This made me jump back in!  I started collecting sites for novels that I teach and found a wealth of info.  I still have a lot of searching and reading to do.  My biggest issue is that I see something that I [...]

Thing 7b

The RSS feed that I have enjoyed the most has been Grammar Grater.  It is quick, easy and almost like a “thought for the day/week” with grammar.  It isn’t something that I would use with my students all of the time but again, has some thoughtful topics to make the students think about right and [...]

Thing 14

July 11th, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | No comments

This was another fun exercise to explore and of course I didn’t have time to do as many as I wanted to do. I tried Ta-Da List and it was pretty good but after doing some of the other stuff it was a little flat on the pizazz. However, I am a list [...]

Thing 13

July 11th, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | No comments

This just cracked me up! I went to the K12OnlineConference site and did Classroom 2.0, Putting the Pedagogy Into the Tools. It is great and showed me a LOT of interesting tools that are quick and easy (as the author said that they would be). There is even a talking cat (or [...]

Thing 12 – Slide

July 9th, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | No comments

This was cool.  I really wish that I had time to explore all of these and I really want to come back to them some time.  I told a very short story of Where the Red Fern Grows.  See my wiki for the exciting (ha) show.  I am really enjoying doing all of this but [...]

Thing 11 – Flickr

July 9th, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | 1 comment

I decided to download pictures referring to the novel Where the Red Fern Grows because this is summer reading for our rising 6th graders. I didn’t have any trouble uploading the pictures into my wiki. There were only a few pictures that would not upload but I found alternatives. This picture of [...]

Thing 10 – Creative Commons

July 3rd, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | 2 comments

I’m very new to Creative Commons. I can honestly say that I’ve never noticed the CC logo on websites but now I’ll be looking for it. I know that I, like my students, and guilty of using images in my work that I did not create. I honestly had the mentality that [...]

Thing 8 – Stretch – Wikipedia

July 2nd, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | No comments

I think that Wikipedia is mind boggling! It really is a phenomenal tool. I do see it as a valid source for students (but not the only source!). I think that most of the content is well written and sound. I can see where some may argue about the information possibly [...]

Thing 8 – Wikis

July 2nd, 2008 | K12 Learning 2.0 | No comments

Just as I was with blogs, I’m a little unsure of working with wikis. However, I really enjoy the blog now so maybe the wiki will come easily as well. I did enjoy looking at what other people had done. These are three that I enjoyed the most and of course they [...]
