It Is Starting to Click

The more I use the Blog, the more it seems to just "come". I figured out today how to add links on the sidebar. I have not figured yet how to do it in the post, as Michelle and Maika did on their Blogs. I guess just give me some time and I will figure it out.

Flickr-part II

I do not see myself using Flickr for school purposes. Here on Guam, we must get parent permission in order to photograph or video students prior to doing so. Many of our parents will not sign off permission to photograph his/her child. I think it would be useful should I do Special Olympics again. I would be able to share with all of the parents that pictures that were taken at the event. We could also put all of the pictures from different cameras in one place, to share with each other.

I do, on the other hand, see Flickr in the future of my person correspondence. It allows me to share photos with family and friends immediately.

What Technology Might I Use In My Class In The Future?

I can see myself using possibly the Blogger in order to open another form of communication with the parents of my students. I can also see a great use for the Google Docs with my colleagues. We can use the same document and not have to worry about what format or what version of Word was used. This will allow a better utilization of our time. We can also send it to admin. without having to worry if Admin. can open the document in a timely manner or not.

As for Facebook, Flickr and Twitter, I do not see a professional use for these sights. I will, however, continue to use Flickr and Facebook in my professional life. At this time I still do not seem to understand or "get" the purpose behind Twitter. I will continue to try and increase my use and knowledge of technology.

RSS Feeds and are they useful?

RSS feeds seem to be useful. It allows a person to get all the websites in one place. One can check the updates from one place instead of going from place to place. It is also a much needed time-saver. In this day and age, one does not seem to have much "spare" time in which to sit and wait for each individual site to pop up.

One can pick all of the "importanat" sites and not have to mess with all the other extras.

I think this is great. I can easily and quickly get news feeds from Guam and from where my parents live in the States. I can also get news feeds, should I want, from where my friend lives in Germany.

KIN 710 Wiki

I spent some time last night trying to work on that assignment. With some combined brain power with Barb, I was able to get the map widget added. I still am not sure, though, how I can be writing on the site, other than threads. I saw the message from Scott today, but I still am sure I fully understand. I have clicked on the "Request to be a Writer" twice and still no reply, at least none that I am aware of. Will need to check that out again, maybe tomorrow.

Image Generator-2nd try

I hope this works. I will see.

Library Thing

Here is the link for my Library Thing... http://www.librarything.com/catalog/JillWhite68. I have had fun looking through this site this evening. I have an auntie and a cousin who are published authors and I was able to find many of the books they have written and gotten published. This site is handy to share with relative who want to buy books; the can visit the site to find out who a favorite author is or a favorite book. This site can allow for a very broad, yet quick search. One can read what others have said about a book before they buy it should they want. I also like that English is not the only accessible language. This could be quite fun!!
