Thing 14 week 6

technorati.... this is a creative a way of sorting through blogs. I am completely amazed by the sheer number of blogs out there. The tags help eliminate and get to the beef of what you want. When I searched using only tags the results were down to an available 78 blogs. All of which were on topic. What a neat tool. I did not claim my blog. I did go to the feature, but I am not sure that as the school year returns I will have time to blog regularly.

Thing 13 Week 6

Del.icio.us --- this is a remarkable tool that allows the use of bookmarking websites for use for multiple users. It is a tool that I would recommend; however, my district has selected to block this from any users within the district,UNFORTUNATELY. I think that if the person in charge of blocking sites could see the value it wouldn't be blocked.

Week 5 Thing #12

I am extremely excited about Rollyo. This tool would allow me to find different resources on different topics and keep them saved. I don't think that this would be a site that would be blocked by the district which is a plus.

Week 5 Thing#11

I ventured into sites that deal with health issues. I would normally use medlineplus.gov; however, I tried the first place site http://www.revolutionhealth.com/ . I liked that it was up to date but it did take you from one site to another. On a users end you had to go through multiple windows to use certain tools. for example. I like the check your symptoms in other sites. But in this site it was not simplified. I did try http://www.peertrainer.com/tip_of_the_day.aspx this site is a free weight loss motivator that I do enjoy.

Week 5 Thing #10

http://www.bighugelabs.com/flickr/ I used this image generator to create this picture of my son. I think this is a very innovative tool. With more practice I can utilize this in the library.

Week 4 Thing #9

Locate useful newsfeeds... I found that some of my favorite websites had newsfeeds. I have to be honest all this time I did not know what the orange icon was for..I hope I am or I mean I was not alone. Now I know and I found using the search tools given I will be able to help my teachers and students get up to date information without all the fuss. Thanks.

Week 2 Thing #4

Registering my blog. I was not sure that I had to blog about registration.
