Week 6

Thing 13 14 and 15

For these exercises I entered del.icio.us./SJLibrarylearning2 and Technorati. I then picked a site at random, which was Internet Scout program. It focuses on developing better tools for online projects. I picked a tag - Education on another site and then another tag -Teaching. It was really very interesting reading, so much useful information on all facets of teaching, resources, ideas and problems that may occur. I think this is a great and useful site for any teacher new or experienced. I found it had great ideas for the classroom and keeping students, motivated. Using tags has its advantages although - again, you could spend hours searching and reading, there are so many tags which could be a disadvantage as there is so much information it could all become just a bit too much to take in. The disney movie was interesting.

Week 5

Thing 10

I have spent SOME time playing around with images generators and will get back to it when I work out how to send it to my blog. What am I doing wrong? anyone? This is where i am having trouble. I can enter the site, follow the instructions, create, but cannot send...

Thing 11 and 12

I really enjoyed loooking through all the web awards. There are some very interesting sites, I looked at Travel - Farecast, Mashups - Ning and books - Lulu. I will go back to these at some stage and look at other sites of interest. You need heeps of time!

Thing 9

It is amazing just how much information can be found when looking at all the feeds that I was interested in. I found Technorati, Blog pulse and of course Google seach to be a mind field of information. I often wonder what we did before Google to find everything we want or need to know about anything!!! Although I think It would become addictive, there are so many sites to search! Alot of hours could be spent in front of a computer screen, I know i have spent many nights researching where to go on a holiday. I think there was too much information as in the end, I felt like I had already been there!!!
